Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Superbly located and well-connected. A stone's throw from the river, 10 minutes walk from the iconic and vibrant Battersea Power Station, its tube station and close to Battersea and Battersea Park and Vauxhall.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Building management were v supportive leading up to a private book launch event. This included being responsive to queries and eager to help throughout e.g. there were a couple adjustments required to the temperature and lighting in the event space. Most settings are controlled centrally i.e. not from within each event space and therefore less straightforward to configure. They were really helpful in resolving the issues which helped alleviate some event planning stress.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
When I moved in to Bloom East, Bloom West was still under construction. Both Bloom West and Bloom East facilities are freely accessible to all Bloom residents. The swimming pools are closed during Oct-April.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The location is well design with the River thames at 1 min walk, a little shop Co-op 2min walk and buses stop 5min walk. I would have love to have a parking area on site as London is quite expensive to park at. The station name Clapham junction is around 15 min walk. You got a pharmacy / NHS to 2 min walk. A restaurant, storage company, nail salon and plus around 5min walk.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
They always ready to help and very understanding. I didnt really have any personal issues but when I do need them for a quick request they are always replying and efficient.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The room itself got many storages and they also got back up storage (if available) in the bike room.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
It’s mostly bars, pubs and restaurants and many coffee shops. There’s nothing close by for clothes and toiletries.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
They’re trying their best but ultimately the main decision is for the landlord.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Community is very biased toward young people, not enough events for mature souls.
