St Luke's Square, E16

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

Based in Canning Town lots of independent shops, cafes and restaurants are popping up. Cocktail bars, wine bars and coffee shops make the area great to live. Proximity to Canary Wharf and London Bridge is also great. Although the area is gentrifying quickly, there can be a few unsavoury people around. Litter is a problem and public bins aren't emptied quickly enough.

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

Prime property are not good. Often very rude and refuse to answer some emails. When they do answer emails/the phone they threaten to charge you an administrative charge. Also, check invoices: on occasion they have charged for work not actually done.

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

Prime Property are a terrible management company. Wish I had known this before buying.

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

We are really close to Canning Town station - a great tube line for getting to Stratford, Canary Wharf and Liverpool Street. When we moved here amenities were a bit low but with the development works in and around Canning Town, there is an influx of restaurants, cafes, gyms, and a huge Morrisons supermarket. Close to where the new Crossrail line will be (15 minute walk) and it feels quite safe.

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

That Covid would have hit. I would have waited a few more months until the coronavirus pushed down prices

What is the best feature of your home:

The location - being so close to Stratford and Canary Wharf is great. It is also so close to the station and the bew development works.

The local transport is really good, with easy access to the DLR. There are lots of restaurants, cafes and shops close to St Luke’s. There is also a good local primary school very close by.

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

Yes they have always been fairly efficient. However, for the last two years we have been managing the place ourselves.

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

When we moved in, the next door development had not been built yet. It is now blocking our view, but we understand this happens around London, especially in areas such as this.

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

Very good transport links, it is quite up and coming area, a lot of investment running, in terms of shops we have butcher shop right around the corner and Co-op near the station

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

I haven't had any concerns and haven't really raised any issues but I believe they are running the development fairly well.

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

I wish I knew about the properties that have been built around, they blocked my view

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

There are not many amenities for spare time activities no post office no pubs no supermarkets or cafes . I have to go somewhere else if I want to go out, the nearest grocery store is close to Canning town station The coop which is 10 minutes walk away

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

I didn't know that they are building another development just across the street. This was a warehouse before.

What is the best feature of your home:

I like the size of my bedroom, there is a lot of space inside the room where you can have a king size bed.
