It is absolutely amazing!

I love living in my house!! It is amazing! Having a pool and a gym at the bottom of our building is great! I go down there loads with my brother!! It is great living high up because the view is absolutely fabulous, you can see everything! The design of the reception is brilliant and the receptionists are always so kind.

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

I love living where I live. It is great living by a canal and it is great being right in central London. The only bad thing is city road is so busy and has so much traffic on it. And the restaurants and shops are great.

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

They have been great and their surface is brilliant.

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

Nothing it is just brilliant there are absolutely no flaws.

Great staff, great place!

The building is incredibly quiet for such a vibrant part of the city. I can’t hear my neighbors or the busy city bustling below. The staff from the concierges to the cleaners are incredibly kind, respectful and so very helpful. The gym facilities aren’t exactly what I need, but I’m very grateful to have it here in the building. The pool is really nice to have as well. I cannot day enough great things about the staff!

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

-vibrant -great transportation -shopping -very walkable -so many grocery stores close by

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

We’ve needed access to our meters a few times and have never had a problem getting help. Also, our packages often find their way right to our door which is so wonderful!

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

I love almost everything but I absolutely hate the faucet in the kitchen. Nothing to be done about it, but it’s something I think about every day Bc I use it every day. ALSO the water is particularly here. I have to descale my kettle monthly.

Excellent location with lovely views

The tower looks pretty from the outside, for sure. There are great south-facing views of London. The concierge are friendly -- they are also convenient for getting deliveries when you are out. The windows don't open and the A/C isn't great, meaning rooms can get incredibly hot. I haven't used the facilities (pool, spa, gym) yet but they look nice.

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

Perfect location for people who work in Shoreditch. It's far enough away from the grime of Shoreditch, but still close enough that you can walk there in 10 mins. There are two 24/7 shops within a minute walk, and at least 2-3 other supermarkets too.

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

I haven't raised any problems since I moved in a few months ago.

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

If you are into home automation, the apartments here have KNX systems built in. The management don't provide the .knxprod file that holds the system architecture, so changing things is a time-consuming task of debugging KNX.

Comments on design, utilities and building management

Kath (Tenant)

Verified Resident

Oct 2020

We are in a one bed apartment but the rooms are a really good size. New fixtures and appliances that are easy to maintain and utility cupboard storage space. Insulation and double glazing keep the flats warm and quiet. Clean communal corridors and secure Ground floor access with lift to floors. Building management are responsive but waited a couple of days to hear from the last time we had a query about our utilities.

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

Great location in Islington with easy access to Regents canal and Shops and restaurants of Upper Street. 10 Minute walk to Old street and The City.

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

Wardrobe Storage in bedroom could be better thought out as half is boarded up to accommodate pipes

What is the best feature of your home:

Bathroom is spacious, new and with good quality fittings

Happy modern living

B Liddy (Owner)

The building is a great design - I love how the light reflects on the outside giving it a very sleek, uniform and modern look. Inside the apartments have a very innovative layout, and may favourite thing would be the wood detailing and panels - makes it feel luxurious and interesting, while contemporary. I also like the windows and view over London from my home, plus the lovely gym and pool in the basement.

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

The area is great - right between two Underground stations - Angel and Old Street stations - each about 8-10mins walk away, with lots of coffee shops and convenience stores on the way!

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

Good, few issues. Friendly concierge staff and they always look out for my mail and deliveries etc.

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

I didn't think I'd use the gym much, but actually it's so convenient having it in your own building!
