Porter's Edge, SE16

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

A lot of young professionals live here but there aren't many restaurants/bars locally. You are so close to Southwark Park and Stave Hill which are great benefits. Lot's of travel options out of the area too + we just got Boris bikes.

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

Mostly well. I did once have broken washing machine which they didn't get round to for 2 weeks but aside from that it's been good.

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

There's bike storage! No one seems to use it but it's there. I'd also just reiterate the point about noise from upstairs neighbours.

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

The area is fantastic, taking just two minutes to get to canada water. However, if you prefer to walk, it takes just thirty minutes along the thames path to reach towerbridge, and its a lovely walk! Beautiful greenwich is just 15 minutes by bus or a 30-minute walk, again along the thames path. The area cannot be faulted.

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

I wish i'd known that the walls are completely soundproof, as i was almost put off the flat in case it was too noisy - i genuinely cant hear a thing from neighbours!

Please share one thing (or more) which you would change about your development:

It would be great if our balcony got a bit more sun, but cant complain too much about that.

I wish I had considered which flats get better sunlight.

What is the best feature of your home:

We are on the 15th floor and from the living room we get great panoramic views, looking west across London. It's the perfect setting for a few drinks with friends.

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

Canada Water Station gives quick and easy access the whole of London. Amenities are close by with supermarkets, pubs and restaurants at close by. The downside to the immediate area is that the local community is largely working professionals which is very noticeable when out and about.

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

During the COVID-19 pandemic building management were quick to increase cleaning and implement additional safety precautions.
