Queens Road Peckham is a great place to live. There is good proximity to green spaces, the local economy is doing well with new shops, amenities, restaruants opening regularly. The transport links are best for those that like to avoid the underground. There are trains directly into central London, and the overground to take you from Clapham to east London. Buses are plentiful and frequent, however with the massive developments being carried out on the Old Kent Road, transport is becoming busier. New homes are being built, with little additional infrastructure and so caveat emptor. Overall, there is community feel in this pocket of South East London. Much better than the commercialised and commodified east.

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

The relative poor build quality and how quick certain things would break. The service charged has already doubled, and will no doubt continue to jump upwards. It was not built to last, but built to tinker with - jobs for the boys to keep it repaired.

What is the best feature of your home:

The views across London from our East and West facing balconies which allows sunshine and light into the building.

Location is amazing with overground & buses all super close, it’s also great for enjoying all of Peckham’s amazing food & drink venues as it’s a quick walk to everything. Parking is available on street but NHG did a poor job with the parking on-site — the car park sits 2/3 empty & a lot of residents cannot use it.

I wish I had been more aware about the SLA of the communal heating system. We had no hot water or heating for 4 days in December 2021 & received no compensation which I’ve since learned we should have

What is the best feature of your home:

Quiet & has private patio. The rooms are a good size & I feel very comfortable
