Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
It's a quiet and peaceful residential area. While there are not many pubs and bars around Canary wharf is a short walk or bike ride a way and you can find everything you need there. There's a Sainsbury's nearby and also a cute bakery/cafe and park a short walk away. The canal is also close by and I often go running there. Hackney Wick is also a 15 minute bike ride away.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
There have been a few minor issues and they've always been addressed immediately.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Some flats have minor differences in colour scheme and details despite the layouts being more or less the same.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Very residential area with local shops and no big grocery stores, pubs, restaurants, etc. near the Dlr which makes the secluded location manageable.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Yes but very slowly and many repairs flagged since day one haven’t still haven’t been addressed or took months to resolve.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The building isn’t new but the management is, so a lot of issues. Very expensive council tax

HI Henna, Thank you for taking your time to leave a positive review. Its great to see you are enjoying the building and its amenities. Just to clarify, the Cinema Room and Private Dining Room are free to use. There is only a cost should you wish to book for exclusivity. Please do approach any of the on-site team should you have any queries.
