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

It is so convenient living here. The location is fantastic with grocery shops and restaurants within a 2-5 minute walk. Canning Town tube station is also within just a 1-2 minute walk away- practically right in front of the building! There is ample of parking within the Morrison’s car park which is also convenient. The community around the building and shops is nice with many young professionals and families. I’ve really enjoyed all the conveniences here.

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

Any problems or issues we’ve had were well received and actions were immediately taken. It is very easy to log on issues on the app and the team is very helpful.

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

Be aware of the construction and traffic noises because it is a high traffic, and rapidly developing area!

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

The area is incredibly well connected with the underground, DLR, and bus station right opposite the development. There are plenty of shops, restaurants, cafes, and amenities to choose from in the area. I’ve used the underground carpark for 2 years and have had no issues. I’ve not witnessed any anti-social behaviour and feel really safe in the area, particularly with the on-site 24/7 security team based at reception. Bin collections are regular and there’s always space for rubbish. There’s no traffic noise at anti-social hours.

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

The building management team have responded quickly to any issues in the building and the flat itself. The team are incredibly supportive, friendly, and helpful! They have made staying in the building a pleasure.

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

The development has changed and been updated for the better since I moved here in 2024. Grainger seem quite committed to upgrading things regularly. I wish I’d known about the outdoor terrace when I’d moved in, it’s great in the summer months!

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

The location in Canning Town is a real advantage—being right next to the station makes commuting extremely convenient. There are also great grocery options nearby, including Morrisons and Lidl, along with plenty of good restaurants, so everything you need is close by. It’s a very well-connected and convenient area to live in. The only drawback is that apartments facing the main road can experience quite a bit of noise, especially when the balcony doors are open, which is something to keep in mind.

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

Yes, they have an app on which we can raise issues and they respond through it

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

I just wished i would have noticed the noise on opening the balcony doors before

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

The local area is one of the best things about living here! Everything you need is right on your doorstep, with a great mix of shops, cafés, restaurants, and bars all within easy walking distance. The location is incredibly strategic and well connected, especially with the train station nearby, making commuting and getting around very easy and stress-free. There are also nice open spaces close by for walks and downtime. The street itself feels safe and well looked after, with regular bin collections and generally low noise levels for such a convenient location. Parking can be a little limited but overall it’s a pleasant and comfortable area to live in with very little anti-social behaviour.

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

The building management has been absolutely amazing whenever I’ve raised any issues. When I had a problem with my kitchen hob, Jenna contacted me within a few days and was proactive in trying to resolve it. She kept me regularly updated and stayed in touch until everything was sorted, which I really appreciated. I also had a very stressful situation during my renewal due to my guarantor suddenly having to leave the country. The landlord and Grainger team were incredibly kind, patient, and understanding, and they worked closely with me to find a solution within a limited timeframe. They also made processes like right-to-work checks very straightforward and easy. Overall, the support and communication have been excellent and very reassuring.

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

What I wish I’d known before moving in is just how lovely and supportive the on-site team would be, it really makes such a big difference. The reception team, especially Jenna and Louis, are incredibly warm, friendly, and always welcoming. They go out of their way to help and make you feel at home. The security team is fantastic too, always polite, approachable, and reassuring, which makes the building feel very safe and calm. Jaime has also been amazing whenever I’ve needed help with booking the studio or with general enquiries. My biggest tip to new neighbours would be to say hello to the staff and make the most of the facilities, you’ll quickly feel part of a genuinely caring community!
