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.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Good aspects - Defenetly the commute. I live close to where I work so it’s a blessing and also the property is based on high street. So easy access to virtually everything. I can’t find anything bad about the area honestly.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Yes. I am very happy with Oxana and Luke. They are extremely approachable and efficient.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Can’t think of anything to be honest. May be the rent could have been negotiated better.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
I really like living in this neighbourhood – it’s quiet, safe, and has a friendly feel to it. Our building is around a 7-minute walk from Maidenhead Station, which makes commuting super easy, especially if you're heading to London or Reading. The high street is also close by and has a good mix of shops, restaurants, and cafes, so it’s easy to get what you need or just enjoy a nice day out. One of my favourite things is the riverside walk – it’s such a lovely and peaceful spot, perfect for walking, running, or just getting some fresh air. The area feels safe even at night, and the streets are usually clean and well-kept. Bin collections are regular, and there’s not much noise or anti-social behaviour, which is a big plus. Parking is generally available around the area, which is really convenient. Overall, it’s a really nice place to live – convenient, pretty, and with a good mix of nature and city life.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The building management team has always been responsive and helpful. Any issues I’ve raised were dealt with quickly and professionally, and they always keep me updated on progress. It’s reassuring to know they’re easy to reach and genuinely care.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I wish I’d known how welcoming the community is and how often little events are held — they’re a great way to meet neighbours. Also, it’s worth knowing that the building team is super responsive, which really helps when settling in.
