No.2 Upper Riverside, Greenwich Peninsula, SE10

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

The only good thing about this place you have access to facilities like gym, swimming pool, and other amenities within the Upper Riverside buildings. Also North Greenwich Jubilee Line and local bus services connects to many different parts of London - do note that it is always busy! Since the building is located at touristy places such as the O2, North Greenwich Riverboat services and the Cable Car, it is mixed with residents and tourists. The area around the O2 is extremely noisy every single day. Smokers, roller skaters are everywhere and easy to get your phone pickpocketed.

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

I once loved the development but when I moved to the place it was extremely disappointed with anti-social behaviours and the lots of smokers around this area.

What is the best feature of your home:

The only thing I liked my apartment was the kitchen space.

One of the most significant drawbacks of North Greenwich is its distance from the heart of London. This makes it inconvenient for those seeking the lively and dynamic city experience. While the Jubilee Line provides access to central London, the constant need to rely on public transportation becomes tiresome and time-consuming. Additionally, I've encountered safety concerns in North Greenwich. At times, the area can feel dangerous, especially during late hours. The lack of a visible police presence and adequate security measures has left me feeling uneasy and vulnerable. The commercial focus of the area is another disappointing aspect. It seems that profit-driven businesses take precedence over creating a thriving community environment. The lack of local independent shops, cafes, and cultural spaces further contributes to the area's overall lackluster atmosphere. Overall, my experience in North Greenwich has been underwhelming. The distance from London, the absence of a vibrant community, the excessive commercialization, and safety concerns have all played a part in my disappointment. I would advise those seeking an authentic London experience to consider other neighborhoods that offer a stronger sense of community and a safer environment. If you work in Canary Wharf , there are better properties in the area, otherwise stay in Bermondsey, it’s a vibrant and wonderful neighbourhood.

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

Unresponsive. it's essential for them to promptly and effectively address any problems or issues raised by residents. Responsive building management should prioritize open communication, actively listen to residents' concerns, and work towards finding satisfactory solutions. Timely response, proactive problem-solving, and clear communication are key qualities of effective building management. Unfortunately, it wasn’t my experience.

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

I have had a concerning experience with the building management in regards to their contractors' unauthorized use of body cameras. When I asked for details about what they had filmed while I was in the house, they outright refused to provide any information. Additionally, despite my complaints, the property management completely ignored my concerns and failed to address the issue appropriately. This lack of transparency and dismissive attitude towards residents' complaints is highly disappointing and raises serious privacy and trust issues.
