St Mark's Square, BR2

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

Really close to local shops and train station with easy access to local amenities. Bin collection is good, you just put it in bin storage room whenever but sometimes people dump stuff in there which results in a hike in service charge price.

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

They were quite slow with certain enquiries and quick with other. When our balcony door was broke, someone came round within 1 day to fix it.

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

The noise of Weatherspoons downstairs is something to keep in mind. It’s not so much the noise of people, but the emptying of glass bottles every morning becomes very jarring when it’s loud broken glass being dumped into a container.

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

Really nice well finished apartments. The area is lovely and transport is spot on with only a couple mins walk to Bromley south and then 16mins to Victoria central London. Many shops that were promised to be opened in the development remain closed, and this predates covid.

Communication form living city is terrible. Their email etiquette is non existent and many issues remain unsolved. Often emails are ignored and phone calls never returned
