30 Harbord Square, E14

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

I love being on the Canary Wharf estate. There's everything you need at your door. Amazon fresh, Waitrose, M&S, and Tesco to name a few grocery stores, five underground shopping malls, loads of restaurants and bars, and the best 24 hour security I’ve ever had living in London. 30 Harbord Square is within walking distance of all major transport connections. Canary Wharf tube station is closest, and there is also Heron Quays DLR, Canary Wharf DLR, South Quay DLR, and Bladkwall DLR within the walking distance. There are also numerous buses to take you around the city, and it’s less than a 5 minutes walk from the new Elizebeth line. The estate is always really clean, and the grounds are well presented.

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

Phone calls, and emails are always responded to promptly and all problems are resolved in a timely manner. There’s always someone available onsite and in the office during the day. There’s also a 24 hour emergency number.

I didn’t realise there were so many different energy providers. After obtaining quotes, I decided to remain with the original supplier who came with the property:)

Living in Canary Wharf offers a vibrant mix of modern conveniences and urban lifestyle. The area boasts a wide range of high-quality shops, upscale restaurants, and trendy bars, catering to diverse tastes and preferences. The open spaces, including parks and waterfront areas, provide a refreshing escape from the bustling city life. Transport links are a major plus, with excellent connectivity to central London via the Underground (Jubilee Line), DLR, and upcoming Elizabeth Line, making commuting and exploring the city highly convenient. However, peak times can see overcrowding, and weekend closures for maintenance can be a nuisance. Residential life on the streets of Canary Wharf is generally of a high standard. The area is well-maintained, with regular bin collections and minimal anti-social behaviour, contributing to a safe and clean environment. However, parking can be challenging and expensive, primarily designed for short stays and residents with permits. One downside is the potential for noise, especially from traffic and ongoing construction, as the area continues to develop. This can detract from the otherwise peaceful setting, particularly in busier commercial zones. Overall, Canary Wharf is an excellent place for those seeking a dynamic urban lifestyle with the convenience of modern amenities and transport links, though it comes with some of the typical city-living like high living costs.

A huge thank you to this incredible team for their unparalleled support and for making our departure as joyful as our stay!

Before moving into 30 Harbord Square, I wish I'd known about the car-free zone policy. Parking is a challenge due to no on-site facilities. For car owners, it's crucial to explore nearby parking options or adapt to alternative transport methods. Plan ahead to avoid unexpected inconveniences.

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

Location and amenities are good. Lots of restaurants and shops nearby and the Elizabeth line is very convenient for commuting into central London. Construction noises and air pollution at the moment are bad.

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

We have not had a problem so far however, if we do need any information from the building management, they are very responsive and helpful .

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

This is a great area to live, there are lots of amenities to hand and everything you need is pretty close by - shops, bars, restaurants. It’s also nice to have access to green space in Greenwich, which is a short journey away. Otherwise, you do have to be aware that construction on new buildings is ongoing here on a daily basis, so you have to account for noise and air pollution.

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

Convenient access to shops and gyms. Excellent transport links into central London. A negative is the lack of bus routes available.

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

We haven't had any major issues with our flat, but the building management have communicated general safety checks and repairs to the building well.

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

I would say definitely take the time to explore more than just central London from this property - Greenwich is so close and gorgeous if you want to access more green space.
