Affordable, Luxury, Pet-friendly Location: What more?

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

The area of Union Wharf speaks for itself. You are a stones throw from Greenwich with the buzzing restaurants, bars and independent shops. You have access to one of the best parks in London, Greenwich park a 10 minute walk away and direct access to London Bridge and the city in 10 minutes.

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

I didn’t actually realise how great of a commute it was into the city. I definitely recommend walking To Greenwich station and getting the train to London Bridge. My commute in total takes me 20 minutes which is crazy good!

What is the best feature of your home:

The View.. we can see Canary Wharf, a wide view of the Thames and all of the city of London. We even watched the fireworks from our apartment on new year.

Yes, I had an issue with the drier in the washing machine and was resolved immediately with excellent customer service from maintenance.

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

When I went to the viewing at Berkshire house I didn’t realise how many shops, restaurants ,gyms etc were close to the building.

I feel so lucky to live here

Lauren (Tenant)

Verified Resident

Dec 2024

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

The beautiful Greenwich park being about a 10 minute walk away I think is the biggest plus to the area. I think the area provides a very decent range of pubs, cafes, restaurants and supermarkets. The market also creates a nice village/community type atmosphere around the area. I think it is a pretty well connected area. The building is a few minutes away from either Greenwich station, if you want to get into London Bridge, or the Cutty Sark DLR station. There is also a bus right outside the building that can take you straight into Tottenham Court Road. The streets surrounding the building are quite quiet and residential. Other than traffic noise, we rarely have cause to notice outside noise, even when our flat over looks the main road.

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

When we first moved in there we a few non-urgent maintenance bits around the apartment that needed addressing and we have always had someone come over within a matter of a few days. Even when they had to come back again to look at the same issue, it was no bother.

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

The coffee discount at the cafe - I didn't know about this for a while. Other than this, our viewing tour and our move in tour were both very comprehensive, so there wasn't really much we didn't know about. It set us up really easily to just start living there and enjoying.

Ideally located with underground a few steps away, lots of bus options and close walking distance to Hampstead Park. You will find all stores including M&S and Sainsbury’s at the bottom of the building.

Fantastic team on site always available to adress any queries

Fantastic Apartment Block in London .

Jacopo (Tenant)

Verified Resident

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

It is really close to the supermarket such as Waitrose, Tesco, and Sainsbury's. It is also really close to the Greenwich park and the train station. It is great for travelling into London, since the DLR from Cutty Shark brings you directly to central London Bank.

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

The building management is normally very quick to respond to queries.

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

I would say that the building management can be strict on the number of guests allowed in or the time you use the amenities.
