the amount of new developments springing up nearby

What is the best feature of your home:

The space and quality of the apartment with plenty of natural light with a balcony overlooking the river (and Hurlingham Club across) and the gardens.

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

With no through road and set around the private Eastfields Avenue, this development is an oasis of calm. Next to Wandsworth Park and along the Thames Pathway. With great transport links (Thames Clipper stop on your doorstep, a shuttle bus to East Putney tube, and the mainline train to Waterloo a few minutes’ walk away in Wandsworth Town. A small selection of pubs and restaurants close by - with Putney ten minutes walk along the river and Covent Garden just 30 minutes away by boat. Glorious.

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

Clipper service presently only runs at rush hour.

What is the best feature of your home:

Sports facilities and a diverse neighbourhood who are making a caring community together.

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

It is an amazing area to live in. The natural beauty of the riverside meets the quality of a quiet and peaceful location free from roads traffic and pollution. It is extremely enjoyable walking along The Thames Path, passing by piers and moorings, resting or exercising into Wandsworth Park facing the bank full of squawking birds. Well connected to Centre London by train, Tube and busses, all within walking distance. A big Sainsbury's, a good-size shopping centre bosting a cinema and some restaurants, and even several pubs are also reachable on foot. For last moment shopping, local groceries are just around the corner.

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

The noise from the mechanical ventilation in the utility cupboard close to the bedroom

What is the best feature of your home:

The internal area of 86 sqm is far higher than the average for a two-bedroom flat. The en-suite bathroom is a not always present feature as well. The underfloor heating is very comfortable. The best feature is certainly the large kitchen/dining/sitting room enclosed by two entirely glazed walls which open up the living space to the outside and make it even larger.

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

Likes: Park. Safe. Easy access to public transport. Dislikes: Property management company. Ongoing construction traffic. High service fees.

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

Service fees would rise substantially every year after moving in.

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

Likes: The gardens and landscaping are beautiful and there is a park nearby as well as the river. Dislikes: The area is lacking in public transport links. I also think there are too many buildings in the development which can be a bit of of an eyesore

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

Before moving in we were told there would be no more buildings being constructed but this wasn't the case. Construction is still ongoing in the area which can quite noisy

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

i would like more life to be injected into the development. E.g. t would be good to add more commercial properties to the developemnt e.g. another restaurant. Also there should be nore affordable units that are made easier to buy to attract younger crowd to the area
