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

It’s good to be connected by tube to virtually anywhere in London but there is little to none connection by walk. So if the tube does not go, there are only lengthy bus alternatives. good bike lanes around. Canada Water is very residential and there aren’t many cafes, restaurants or bars. There is something on Lower Road but we rarely hang out local. Southwark park is nice, not big but definitely good for a run/walk. There is one small Sainsbury’s and a big Tesco in Surrey Quays Centre which will soon close. Not a big choice of supermarkets. Over the weekend there is a cute market in the main square with fresh produce. No parking available. The river is close and with a 20 min walk around Rotherhite one can find nice views and river walks, also going through a nice park. Overall a great location for travelling around London.

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

Cleaning of the building is below average. As for maintenance works, every query was responded on time, and maintenance has been timely. The gym is a good amenity but we raised some issues with a group of residents and they were not addressed.

The tennis court is available only few hours a day, the area is averagely quiet, flats are very warm during summer but also warm enough not to use a lot of heating during winter.

Yes. They've replied. Often quite quickly but sometimes with delays, or forget to see an issue through to completion, meaning I have to chase.

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

The quality of the building materials. Noise insulation from above is not sufficient. Also issues with mice, silverfish and hot water.

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

The location is great, transport wise absolutely perfect. Bit of noise from the traffic at rush hour on the Leyton Road side of New Garden Quarter but overall a great spot. Quick walk to Lidl or Waitrose or the Westfield, or Olympic Park and Hackney and the canal/Victoria Park, 10/10.

The management company has not gotten back to us on the matter, and keep delaying the issue.

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

The location is extremely convenient with Westfield, Stratford Mall and East Village all within a 5 minutes walk. There’s lots of parking underground although I’m not sure about the cost. Every week there’s maybe one or two food vendors within the garden space which is good for that community vibe.

Building management are very cooperative and friendly
