London: Adam Michael Howie, 28, lives in a one-bedroom flat in Wandsworth with his girlfriend. They moved in last year and loved it so much that they are now moving to a bigger flat in the same building.
Adam works as a maritime broker. He recently got a chance to open a gin distillery bar in their building. They also started a café called 404 Coffee, which has become a community hub. Adam enjoys chatting with other residents and feels a strong sense of belonging.
The couple pays £2,400 a month for their flat. They appreciate the amenities, including a gym and a heated rooftop pool. There are also co-working spaces and even a grand piano in the communal area.
Living in Wandsworth has been a positive experience for them. They find it easy to reach Central London while still enjoying the local community. Adam’s café hosts a run club for residents, encouraging a friendly atmosphere.
They discovered their flat on Instagram and quickly signed a lease after seeing it. The flat came furnished, and Adam has added plants to make it feel more like home. He feels they have enough space, not just in their flat but also in the communal areas.
While they have faced minor issues with appliances, the management has been responsive. Adam and his girlfriend are excited about moving into a larger apartment within the same development. They look forward to the future, especially with plans for Adam’s gin distillery, which will support the community.
