Sky Gardens Nine Elms — Local services in London

Great building with stunning views, but it’s had its share of issues. In 2022, the central AC and heating failed multiple times, leaving residents without air conditioning during peak summer heat and without hot water or heating for over ten days in winter. Not sure what things were like before we moved in, but it was a rough year. The front desk staff are friendly, and our unit is well-maintained and functional. However, the wind storm of 2022 shook the building quite a bit. The gym and rooftop garden are nice perks, though gym hours could start earlier in the summer—8 a.m. is late when the sun’s up at 4:30 a.m. But the floor above the gym has complained about noise, so it’s understandable.

Updates:

2 of 3 elevators working. The first elevator has been inoperable since autumn of last year. They have not figured out what’s wrong with it or they don’t have the funding to make major replacement. I like the front desk personnel.

Two of the three elevators have been down for months, with one completely out of service and the other with malfunctioning buttons. Common areas like the carpets and trash room are dirty and unpleasant. Residents have formed a private chat to voice concerns since the building is still under the developer’s control, leaving us with little say in how maintenance is handled. Hopefully, they’ll get these issues sorted out soon; it’s affecting the building’s value and residents’ quality of life.

Elevator situation resolved—back to normal. Added a star. More elevator issues. One or more out of service for extended periods again—minus a star.

Overall, it’s a mixed bag: great amenities but ongoing maintenance challenges.
