Add your review to unlockConcierge 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.
