Riverlight, SW8

Building and facilities are great. The gym could have a better variation of machines. The concierge are a bit useless when it comes to solving problems (ex. Water heater down, noise from construction in the entrance of parking in the middle of the night).

The value for money isn't the best but the quality of the flat is good. Helpful concercierge. Great facilities with a 24hr gym, pool, 2 saunas and laundry service . management has good problem solving.

Overall impression of the Riverlight building where I live is it is modern and functional. It is not overly beautiful or state-of-the-art, but everything is good quality and works. Two years into living here, I don’t find that things are breaking or needing major repair.

Fantastic location, walking distance to Vauxhall, Battersea Park and Power station. Concierge helpful. Post room fairly organised. Sainsbury and bars/restaurants onsite. Supermarkets 5 min drive away. Nearest street parking about 3 min walk away. Very good travel links.

The exterior looks stunning. Different shapes/colours from what you normally see on the London skyline. The Concierge are always polite and helpful, and do what they can to accommodate. There is a strict policy against AirBnb/short term letting. Window cleaning is covered as part of the service charge. Leaseholders are charged on the basis but this is done quarterly, but this has in fact only been done twice or three times in two years. It is especially pertinent at this development which is surrounded by other developments and Battersea Power Station, so there is a lot of dust from the construction. The managing agent are strict with the development aesthetic, and so consequently the only things that are allowed on balconies are ‘potted plants and good quality garden furniture’. The ground floor of each building has a business - most notably a Sainsburys Local, Indian and Japanese restaurants, a pub and a coffee shop. A large Waitrose is only a 5 minute walk away, Vauxhall station 10-15 minutes walk with direct buses outside the development. Once Battersea Power Station tube is finished in 2020, a northern line station will be a 5 minute walk away.
