Royal Arsenal Rodrigo & Meire review
A green riverside location with shops nearby and good bus and train links. The gym is a plus, though a swimming pool is missing. The forthcoming Crossrail is expected to benefit the area.

A green riverside location with shops nearby and good bus and train links. The gym is a plus, though a swimming pool is missing. The forthcoming Crossrail is expected to benefit the area.
Concierge is available 24/7 and the fob entry restricting access to residents is comforting. However, some bedroom windows are poorly designed, opening barely two inches, and ceilings in parts of the flat are very low, with a panel over the shower that anyone over 5ft2 would hit.
The development blends preserved historical features like cannons and old buildings with modern design. Property management is efficient, the concierge is always available and helpful, and the gym is well maintained.
The main downsides are people hanging out by the river at all hours of the night and apartments being let on Airbnb, which is not permitted. The development deals with these problems as best it can.
The new towers are disliked for clashing with the development's beautiful old style. Facilities are insufficient for the growing number of residents, and developer Berkeley is reportedly cutting planned services. Parking is a massive issue; concierge could not provide a permit for a repair company despite empty spaces.
The development design is liked, but very open public access is off-putting, with youths gathering by the flats. Management is not as proactive as expected at times, though the area is always kept in good condition with little mess.
The management company offers poor value and is uncontactable by phone or email. East Carriage House residents pay higher service charges than West Carriage House yet lack concierge access and the riverside spa and pool available to others paying less under an 'affordable living' association.
The flat is perfectly sized and quite expensive but reasonable for the location. Building management responds well to issues, though the water turns off at least once a week.
