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

Nice area. Low crime, very rarely hear sirens. Feels safe compared to other places in London I’ve lived.

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

Yes they have fixed a superficial issue we had with the bathroom. It would have been handy to have an introduction to some of the systems in the flat we were unfamiliar with.!

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

Airplanes and DLR can be noisy. You hardly notice the sound after a week or so and the windows are good at keeping out noise.

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

Not enough local shops like Tesco express, sainsbury etc. in the area. More amenities would be desirable eg., cafes, restaurants, gyms, bakeries etc. However, the location is great. Right on the DLR station makes it very convenient as well as having coop in the bundling. It turns a bit inconvenient when DLR is in maintenance as it leaves the use of buses only. We have seen some coop thefts and a bike burglary outside of the gallions point building so no the best experience. There have been car races ongoing for months at Tesco area during the night time which have been very disturbing and annoying. This problem seems to be resolved. Overal is good.

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

Very quick response within 24/48h from the moment of a raised issue.

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

Car races happening at night time as well as better insight into the amenities within the area.
