General review
Used to rent here· 1 months ago
The building's design is great, blending social, work and private space well. Cleanliness is a slight let-down, with areas needing paint or repair. Reception staff are very helpful.

A lovely building with many facilities, including a spacious gym and a pool with a phenomenal Canary Wharf view, plus a large community at Ark making it easy to meet people. It gets very noisy from disruptive short-stay guests, and rooms feel too small for the price, with no space for a work desk.
Context for E14 — each tile answers a question renters actually ask.
Every crime reported to police within about a mile of here in the most recent published month. We show the total and the most common type.
Your nearest National Rail or tube/metro/tram station, as the crow flies. Closer means easier life without a car (a real walk is a little further).
The share of households that rent privately (rather than own or rent socially), from the 2021 Census. Higher means more of your neighbours rent too.
Where this neighbourhood sits on the government’s Index of Multiple Deprivation. Decile 1 is England’s most-deprived 10%; decile 10 the least. It blends income, employment, health, crime, housing and more.
Whether fast home broadband for working from home is available here. Superfast is ≥30 Mbps; full-fibre/gigabit is much faster.
The total yearly Band D council tax a resident pays here — the council’s own charge plus county, GLA, police and fire precepts. Your actual bill depends on your property’s valuation band.
The average price homes have recently sold for across the local authority (HM Land Registry House Price Index) — a feel for how pricey the area is.
The area’s long-term risk of flooding from rivers, the sea and surface water, per Environment Agency mapping.
The building itself is nice with good facilities like a gym and pool, but management fails to keep it up to date and clean. The focus is on short-term rentals over long-term residents, for example heating the pool only on weekends.
The building's design, colour scheme and use of space are thoughtfully done, the reception team is fantastic, and there are plenty of facilities. However, the walls are thin, there is no air conditioning, and the sauna rarely reaches a proper temperature. Quiet spaces and better kitchen ventilation would help.
A modern, stylish development with great accessibility and transport links. The energy-efficient, well-designed home had only a few snags, which were resolved. The tenant is very pleased with the decision to move here.
