Uncle Colindale is well connected via the Northern Line but there are few other options available for public transport. At the end of the day, it is in Zone 4 and it means it can easily take an hour or so to get to most places in East or West London. There is a large construction site next door and overall, buildings are placed very near each other which affects lighting conditions and privacy. The building has several great amenities such as the gym room.
