The location for someone not having a car is amazing, 1:30min from the Central Line and very good access to any shop with Westfield center.. Although the borough is changing the building isn’t located in the best part of Startford but still remains a safe area as the station is always busy. Restaurants and bars are not bad, (unfortunately working in a very high standard Hotel myself I would judge too easily) new shops/ bars are slowly opening and the offer expands..

I’ve never had to raise any issue, the agency or concierge always helped giving the informations I needed.

When I complained that the lifts had noticeable scratches in them the management sprayed an anti-scratch solution on it.

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

Stratford has many good transport links and many places to eat or shop. However, the area can be very loud especially with religious preachers nearby.

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

I am disappointed with the high service charge fees (which seem to increase significantly every year) and the high management fees. with no tangible reason or output to justify these. There are no parking spaces which is a downside, but on the plus side the location is excellent, with a 2 minute walk to a main station, multiple supermarkets, and 2 large shopping centres (including Westfield Stratford)

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

snagging process was well addressed by the developer. Issues are generally addressed well by the concierge team.

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

the importance of setting up your internet utilities in advance/ASAP.
