That this is the peak! Renting doesn’t get any better than this.

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

Good range of tesco express, sainsburys local and waitrose within walking distance. You can hear the cars drive over the nearby bridge when window is open but it isn't too loud with the window closed. Very convenient walk to cutty sark and greenwich stations.

Would have been good to know that it's best to order groceries into the building as opposed to shopping locally.

Yes, they did everything imaginable to get the flat ready for us to move in. Replaced all of the furniture, painted the flat, re-grouted the bathroom etc

Bethnal Green area can be a bit dodgy towards the station, sometimes feel unsafe at certain times of the day.

Within 5 minute walk of central Greenwich which has an array of shops, restaurants and bars. Also good transport links and close to the park. Negatives are noise and sometimes crime but this is the case across most of London

Yes - any problems raised with building management were looked at within a couple of days and were very helpful.

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

One negative thing is the length of time the construction outside the building has been ongoing for and results in sometimes a lot of noise as well as dirty windows
