The Quintessence of the London Experience

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

The location of this property is truly outstanding. Within just a 5-minute walk, you have access to a variety of amenities, including both premium and affordable grocery stores, a cinema and a gym/spa. Additionally, the proximity to the Jubilee Line (Finchley Road station is literally right at your doorstep!) allows for quick and easy travel throughout London, with most destinations just a 30-minute ride away. Such a central and accessible location is a rare find, as many areas in London usually require compromises.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Very swiftly with exceptional care, diligence and professionalism.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Nothing major comes to mind as my stay met my initial expectations

My way of life in Tottenham Hale

Gigi (Tenant)

The Gessner, N17

Apr 2025

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

I have lived here for four years, from brand new. I absolutely love it! I like the diverse and multicultural population. The range of star rated restaurants are not easy to find within walking distance. However, with the excellent transport link, one can easily travel to nearby locations for services that are not yet available here. The retail park provides a range of well known shops, supermarkets and cafes , which are handy for shopping and recuperation. Oh, we also have our very own (Dear Coco) cafe in our building with a shared comfortable lounge area. We are close to a very nice park with a community cafe, sport courts/activity hub and children's play areas. There is the canal, Walthamstow Wetlands, and Tottenham mashes, all of which provide beautiful walks and picnic areas. The downside is that caution should be taken when visiting these areas at certain times of the day as personal safety could be an issue. Generally, the area is well lit and safe to walk home from the station at night. Occasionally there is a bit of rowdiness on match days. Traffic is heavy most of the time and with that comes noise but we get use to it. Limited free roadside parking but allocated prepaid parking can be purchased. Excellent Bin collection facility. The area is still developing but overall, it is a good location to live in and once all the regeneration work is completed, a new community will emerge.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

With speed and efficiency. I recently moved to another flat within the same building. The service I received from Benedek, Kitti and Imran in particular, was second to none. Constantine and Mustafa also played a huge part in addressing my needs.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Had I known that the rent would rise as fast as it did, I probably would not have moved here.

The Glasswork Court management was great services given.
