Living at Fizzy 16 has it's pros and cons. The building is located right next to the tube station which has it's pros when walking to and from the station, but it also means you can hear the trains as they come and go in your apartment, this is however something you get use to over time. The transport links are great, as you have two options the underground Jubilee line or the DLR, as well as a bus station which allows you alternative options when one of them does not work. You have a range of shops such as; Morrisons, Lidl, Sainsbury, Tesco, Savers, Iceland and Superdrug in a close walking distance. There are however limited restaurants and bars in the area.

Enough local shops and bars but so close to train station you can be anywhere you like eating or drinking relatively quickly. Sound from overhead planes and train track right underneath can be annoying but get used to it.

Living in Canning Town has been a great experience with a mix of convenience and modern living. The area has good transport links, with Canning Town Station providing quick access to the Jubilee Line and DLR, making commuting to Canary Wharf, Stratford, and Central London effortless. There are also multiple bus routes available for easy travel. Local amenities are improving, with supermarkets, restaurants, and coffee shops within walking distance. Street cleanliness is generally well-maintained, with regular bin collections, though parking availability can be a challenge. The area has good security and a growing sense of community, though, like many parts of London, occasional anti-social behavior can occur, but it’s not a major issue.

I would have liked to know that the trains can be heard the flat especially during the night/ late evening The intercom app is not the best so would have liked to know that there is no actual door bell to hear in the flat

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

It is well connected as the jubilee line station is right next to the building. There isn't much happening in the area in terms of nightlife/cafes etc, but it's easy to reach other buzzing parts of London due to the building's excellent location.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

All the issues we raised so far have been attended to by the building management. They've been very quick with the resolution every time.
