Metro Central Heights, SE1

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

I have owned a flat here since the year 2000. I now live here full time myself. I have never experienced mould and builders and plumbers have said that in their experience mould is very often due to the lifestyle of the occupants. I am extremely happy here and enjoy all the facilities, including the swimming pool, gardens, gated community and ample parking. The neighbours in my experience have always been extremely courteous and helpful. I have never experienced anti-social behaviour here. Although my flat overlooks the railway I certainly do not have a problem with noise.

I wish I had known it was going to take twenty years for all this to happen, back in the year 2000.

The fantastic transport connections, being able to walk to the South Bank of the river, the little parks dotted around, the facilities on site, the security of the building, the 24 hour concierge, plenty of shops and eating places, and the feeling that the area is all the time improving for the better.

Location great. But everything else poor. Apartments have poor ventilation so you end up with mould everywhere and freezing cold. Loads of visitors on-site that don’t live here visiting resident for gay “parties” found someone passed out in the hallway with no underwear on unconscious. Swimming pool and gym frequently unavailable due to maintenance issues.
