  • 10/10 would recommend living here

    Building and property management has been excellent. All interactions with the residents team have been fantastic from problems we had before moving to the first day of moving in and until now!

  • Dream home found!

    We've finally found our dream home and there's honestly nothing to dislike! Our flat is beautiful, everything is so well thought-out and the furnishings are incredibly stylish. I love the ample storage space, the bathrooms are a dream, I love the floor-to-cealing windows, the excellent soundproofing, the incredibly well designed kitchen, the underfloor heating and cooling. The rooftop is arguably one of the best views in London and makes an amazing wfh space as well. Huge shout out to the residential team who are always friendly and helpful!

  • Great place to live!

    Firstly, the views are INSANE! Hands down best views in London. The building itself is gorgeous, modern, and stylish. The facilities are great and always well kept. The gym is fairly small so it would be nicer to have more space there. The building management team is lovely and always super responsive. We are grateful for everything they do.

  • I can't recommend Union Wharf, Essential Living and Greenwich enough

    The roof terrace will sell the building to you! Incredible views of London's skyline, two outdoor bbq areas, comfortable seating and an indoor communal space complete with pool table and board games / books. you can also hire out a private dining room which we did last Christmas to host 20 of our friends and it was great, it made the occasion really special.

  • Perfect balance of city life and a tranquil retreat

    The development itself is everything you’d want from a modern rental experience. Modern, stylish and minimalistic. Property management are fantastic and no issue is too small for their help. The gem in the crown is the communal top floor, including incredible views and a gym as well.

  • Prime Location, beautiful design, excellent service

    The building is very well designed, furbished and decorated, the communal areas are modern, luxurious and very well designed and maintained. The management team and reception offer an excellent service.

  • Simply amazing!

    The design of the flats are modern and comfortable, and allows space for your personal decoration. The building is always clean, it also feels safe living here.
