Tavern Quay, SE16

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

One can hardly believe this is central London - with the charming docks, the water front, the cobbled lanes and the quietness all around. Yet, raise your eyes and the city skyline will present itself, with the Shard shining bright at night. Great connections thanks to the Jubilee line and the Overground, you'll be in Oxford Street in < 30 minutes. Even closer to Greenwich and Canary Wharf. Another option is to take the boat services and cruise on the Thames.

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

The community of residents is self-managing, so they are always responsive to whatever arises.

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

The development sits at the boundary between Southwark and Lewisham, an area undergoing rapid gentrification as of 2021. The Canada Water Masterplan will completely revolutionise the area over the next 10 years.
