Great range of local shops. Very convenient. Only concern is safety of the area lots of activity near the station and at night of anti social behaviour

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

Just the area feeling a bit unsafe at night around the station and nearby areas sometimes yelling fights etc

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

Great range of shops, restaurants and very quick access to the tube (under 1 min). Anti social behaviour and traffic is a small problem in the area as Archway does have a lot of homelessness - but the building itself is very safe, with overnight security and right next to transport links so you don’t have to walk far in the dark. It’s also very well lit so we have never found the surrounding area an issue.

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

Problems are always sorted with speed and efficiency. The only small issue is when the lifts break down (this is fairly often) but there are 3 lifts and one or two of them is still working

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

I have previously requested maintenance for a leak in my washing machine, and I got a response from the Residents Team within a matter of hours with the date and time of an appointment with Ken. He came to my apartment within a few days (which is probably an overestimate) and fixed the leak in one visit. Despite this, he still preemptively ordered a spare part for my machine in the case that the leak returned. This part was never needed for my machine, but I appreciate how proactive he was about ordering it anyways just in case.

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

Wish I had known more about the events in the building and the residents app so I didn't miss out on some workshops
