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

Living so close to the overground is great and there are key bus routes going to central. There is an amazing array of coffee shops, restaurants and bars and a few rave destinations so it’s occasionally noisy all weekends. There is no residents parking and these are all new developments so you can’t get street parking from the council.

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

Really quickly and sent out the relevant people which was great

Neighbours seems really friendly and nice sense of community.

There is a lot of range of bars and restaurants around.. mostly pizzas and burgers unfortunately but you can still find different ones at 20 minutes walk. Transport links I found it amazing.. Appart of the overground collapsing from time to time you still got Stratford in 15 mins walk and have an alternative.. or buses or use your bicycle. There is no parking in my building unfortunately but you can always apply for resident vouchers and get a good deal if you needed… about noise .. well it’s Hackney Wick so what can you expect? …also there are a lot of buildings in construction around…but the building is well done so if you close your windows and doors it’s better.

I had only couple of questions or things to talk about since I’ve been here and both of them were answered promptly and with a positive response.

I wish there were a near post office around that’s all.. and still… I have no problem to travel a bit more for that as the rest is easily sorted.

Amazing location, great spacious flat and a very helpful concierge added a lot to our experience. High street is packed and varied and central is a train ride away.

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

Never had a problem really. Any time I had to speak to them they were very professional

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

There was more crime in the area than I expected. Be careful about your possessions, even parked cars outside are not safe ...

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

Living in my area offers a vibrant mix of independent shops and quaint restaurants, creating a charming atmosphere. The local parks are a highlight, providing lovely open spaces for relaxation. However, transport can be an issue; limited bus services often lead to overcrowding during peak hours. My street remains fairly tranquil, but parking is a challenge due to the narrow roads, with occasional disturbances from noisy trains. Overall, while the community vibe is strong.

One tip I’d share with new viewers is to pay attention to the character development, as it deepens the humor and authenticity. It’s a great reminder of the importance of understanding and embracing differences in our own neighborhoods.

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

Transports links are almost unbeatable for the price. Less than 10 minute walk to the local train/overground station. 2 more within 15 minutes total. Convenience stores and the like are a little further away but still within walking distance for groceries and essentials. On street parking for residents only. Cute bars and restaurants very nearby in Deptford. The street is quiet enough and even though the train tracks are right beside the building, you can’t hear any noise with the windows shut.

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

Quickly. Very respectful to whether we are in the flat or not for repairs. Great at communicating over email at first port of call. They always find a resolution within a few hours

They told us about absolutely everything! I would say trust them as they really know what they’re doing.
