Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The local area is great to live in, it’s convenient being so close to the power station. My flat is to the inside of the building so I can’t hear traffic noise at all, although I assume it would be similar with the windows closed for people facing the other way. There is a lot of bike/ phone snatching crime in the area, but it is on the rise everywhere in London and not connected to the building. However, one thing to note is that the building management could do more to protect us, ie fixing the doors so not anybody can just walk in and making sure both receptions are staffed at all times.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
I haven’t had a lot of problems personally with my own flat since moving in, but the general problems like the broken front door and the awful internet connection have never been handled promptly or efficiently.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The pool in West closing over the winter months and no concierge being present in the West building. Also that there is no cellular connection in the building, making you dependant on the WiFi.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The location is perfect in terms of distance from central London, with Nine Elms station on our doorstep. The Sainsbury’s downstairs is a huge convenience as we don’t have to travel far to grab anything last minute.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
They respond promptly and are always happy to help
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
That most of the tenants in the complex are students
