The two-bed is well designed and spacious with the best East and West views, but developer and management are called scammers. The ground-floor restaurant is unbuilt after two years, the sky bar is shut, and lifts break for months with only one fire stair. Rubbish is carried in shared lifts.
Overall an OK experience.
Used to rent here· 3y ago
First impressions are poor, with littering and jamming revolving doors. Lifts are broken 60-70% of the time, parcel collection closes at 8 with food thefts reported, and the pool, gym and lounges close at 10pm. Apartments are high-spec with lovely views, but building management is poor, treating residents as subordinates.
Context for E14 — each tile answers a question renters actually ask.
