5Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The Draper is in a great location. Bus services are just on the main road and Colindale tube is 10 minute walk. There is a Tesco local just 5 minutes walk away and larger supermarkets just a few minutes by car. Life in the building itself is very quiet. The local area is also very peaceful and the park on the estate is lovely. I feel very safe and haven’t experienced any anti social behaviour.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
We had an issue with our washing machine and the maintenance team were very quick to respond. The appropriate professionals attended. The issue was resolved very satisfactorily and with minimal disruption to myself.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I haven’t experienced any downside as yet. I don’t think I will. I’m very happy here and very pleased to have been able to secure an appartment.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The local area is surprisingly convenient and offers a great balance of amenities. Access to transport links is excellent, making commuting very straightforward. What I love most about Aerodrome Road is how peaceful it feels compared to other parts of London; the traffic noise is minimal, and there are plenty of open spaces nearby to relax. The range of local shops and restaurants provides everything you need for daily life right on your doorstep.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The management team, specifically Matt, has been incredibly responsive and professional. Any minor queries I’ve had were addressed immediately with clear communication. It’s rare to find a team that is so genuinely committed to the residents' stability and comfort.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I wish I’d known just how effective the soundproofing in the building is! It is so quiet and peaceful inside that I barely realize I’m in such a well-connected part of the city. Also, the communal facilities are even better in person than in the photos, definitely make full use of them.
Manager's response5Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review. We’re delighted to hear that your experience at The Draper has been such a positive one from the very beginning. It’s wonderful to know that you’re enjoying the apartment design, natural light, and the quality of the shared spaces.

We’re especially pleased that the atmosphere has provided that sense of peace while still keeping you well-connected to the city. Matt will be thrilled to receive your kind words. We’re glad he was able to support you throughout your journey and help you find a home that suits your needs. Providing clear, responsive, and genuinely helpful service is exactly what we strive for, so it’s great to hear that reflected in your experience. It’s also fantastic to hear that you’re enjoying the local area and its balance of convenience and tranquillity, as well as the soundproofing and communal facilities — those details really do make a difference day to day. Thank you again for your recommendation and for taking the time to share your experience. If there’s ever anything more we can do to support you, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
