A guide to living in Borough of Brent

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

Living in Alameda at Wembley Park has been a great experience! The area is vibrant, well-connected, and offers a great balance between city life and green spaces. The biggest advantage is the convenience—Wembley Park Station is just a short walk away, making commuting into Central London seamless. The neighborhood is clean, safe, and has a great community feel. I particularly love the modern amenities, well-maintained buildings, and the variety of shops, restaurants, and entertainment options nearby, including the London Designer Outlet and BOXPARK. Having Wembley Stadium and the OVO Arena so close adds to the buzz, making it an exciting place to live. On the downside, event days can get quite busy, with increased foot traffic and some road closures. Parking can also be a challenge, but with excellent public transport and local facilities, it’s rarely an issue. Overall, Alameda in Wembley Park is a fantastic place to live, offering comfort, convenience, and a lively atmosphere!

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

Decent access to travel, with many bus routes going to Kilburn or Willesden Green station, and across London. A new station, Brent Cross West, opened recently which offers the Thameslink which is also very convenient. As of late, there has been anti-social behaviour, particularly in the front sections of the buildings. I wish more diligence was offered by staff to help this.

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

Sometimes issues raised are looked into, but it takes a while to action.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Any land that is being built on in the surrounding area.

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

It is the best place in Wembley with very good local shops, restaurants and bars and green open spaces. The transport links are very convenient as it take only 12 minutes to get to the center of the city by tube.

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

They were there to help us resolve our problems. Especially the building manager Maria Padala was very friendly and helpful.

I wish we knew that we could bring our pets to stay with us because we missed our dog very much

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

Lots of shops nearby in the outlet, ranging from fashion to making last minute gift shopping really easy. There are also a lot of chain restaurants, cafes, and a pub close by for the weekends all within walking distance. Tons of supermarkets nearby, including an Asian supermarket which suits all of our needs. We especially love the plethora of green spaces nearby that are pet-friendly and allow our dog to play in an enclosed space off-leash, which is rare in London. This was a huge selling point for us. It is also really easy to get into central via the Jubilee and Met line, making commuting relatively convenient for us.

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

Management used to respond to repair requests quickly before, but this has slowed down in our experience.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

The location of the flat - some may dislike how close the building is to the stadium. During event days, Wembley Park becomes quite busy and the main boulevard gets blocked off when events end, making it more difficult to go home as one would need to walk a slightly longer route through the back. In our experience, it is not too inconvenient if you plan ahead, and management will notify us if there are road closures and events etc beforehand. This all depends on personal preference.

wembley park is the best place to live, the tube station is close by and well connected to the centre, the shops in the area comprise all categories and the london designer outlet is definitely a plus; i wouldn't want to rent anywhere else in london!

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

the issues we have raised have eventually been solved but in some cases we would've expected them to intervene sooner.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

i genuinely think this place offers everything a tenant might need or want, I haven't found myself wishing i knew more. maybe i'd tell myself to be less anxious about moving because in the end everything worked out!
