My wife and I love living in the Alma in Aldgate. Commuting from here is incredibly easy with tube stops at Aldgate East, Aldgate, and Liverpool not far away. There are so many great, affordable restaurants nearby as well that we can easily walk to on Commercial St and Brick Ln. Great pubs as well, the Culpeper and the Buxton are our favorites.

They are always responsive and do their best to address any issues that we’ve had right away.

Large Sainsburys, Waitrose, and Iceland supermarkets are all within easy walking distance from the Alma. Getting to Heathrow is super easy - from Aldgate East take the District line east to Whitechapel, then change to the Elizabeth line and head west to Heathrow. Usually takes about an hour.

Parking can be a bit limited at peak times, so it’s worth planning ahead if you have a car. On the positive side, the convenience of having shops, restaurants, and transport links all within walking distance offsets this. I’d also recommend getting to know the building management early on, as they are approachable and helpful if anything comes up.
