Super close to the tube and the wetlands for walks. Unfortunately dogs aren’t allowed but you can walk them down the canal close by. A couple of nice cafes and the breweries but no pubs . Some traffic noise in balcony but nothing of concern at night.

Some of them , yes. It is much better now with new management. Was hard to get a response during team changes.

Private guarantors aren’t accepted. Really annoying that I have to pay a monthly fee of just under £100 for practically nothing. I understand the need for them is dependent on income but I had a willing guarantor in place. If this was an option I would have an extra bill.
