GoogleAll elevators are out for over a week. Elderly and disabled residents who can’t climb stairs are trapped. Management is heartless and non responsive. It seems they are a Grenfell Tower in the making.
1/5
GoogleAwful management team, don’t respond or offer support when needed for basic and urgent issues. Both lifts haven’t been working for a month, meaning residents are essentially trapped in their flats in a 27-storey building- it poses health and safety issues and we have been offered no support or compensation. Maintenance issues take months to action, bills are high, the roof garden is dry and never tended to, there are pigeons in the stairwells and you pay over £2k a month to live with this. Don’t recommend.
5/5
GoogleHad a great experience using the Dining Room upstairs for a meeting. The place had everything you need to host a dinner and we were able to comfortably seat 16 people for three hours. Lia on reception was super friendly and helpful in helping us to organise the day. Thanks so much!

GoogleApparently the only two lifts in there have been out of action for a week. Why hasn't something been done about it!? Even an insanely fit person would keel over going up 20+ floors after going out for supplies etc! DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT !!!
5/5
GoogleSuch a great building! Lovey place to live and the staff, concierge and even more so the premises manager are all incredible. Apartments are up to top spec with easy access into London.
1/5
GoogleLove the architecture, but the management stranding disabled residents on upper floors without access to essentials, because the only 2 elevators are both broken with no eta on being fixed, and no staff that will help upper floor residents access food.
5/5
GoogleThe staff and management are incredible!! Special mention for Narad and Shafi they try and keep everything running smoothly and their dedication really boosts the living experience. Keep up the good work guys.

GoogleFix your lifts immediately. I hope you get fined into obscurity. Absolutely despicable behaviour on behalf of the owners / management of this building. An utter disgrace.
5/5
GoogleClassic brutalist flats designed by none other than Erno Goldfinger. Well worth a look. Currently being renovated too so you can't get in right now. Carradale House is right next door. Together they were a sort of prototype for the awesome Trellick Tower

GoogleA hundred quid for a week with no lifts? Are you actually having a laugh? This place is a joke.
1/5
GoogleThis place charges premium rent but can’t keep a lift working? And £100 is your sorry excuse for compensation? Pathetic.
5/5
GoogleSo inhumane and foul, is sort of worth saving to show the lows the ‘cognoscenti’ will force any aesthetic onto people. Designed by Goldfinger (famous for other brutalist building), and now immortalised as A James Bond villain (Ian Fleming wasn’t a fan). Had the pleasure of a friend living in the block. The views of canary are superb. Last I heard it was being redeveloped into swanky apartments.

1/5
GoogleI lived there for seven years, it was a mess, lifts not working, heating very poor and the boilers were still oil fired and then they kicked us all out so that could redevelop them into apartments for the middle classes, it was a vertical slum.
2/5
GoogleYou want to live in Balfron Tower just so that you don’t have to look at it every time you look out the window. Though now it is being redeveloped into luxury apartments I’m sure the inside is even more appealing. Probably the apartments will be a solid investment given that the building is listed.
1/5
GoogleIt's an eyesore. The term 'brutalist' is descriptive. Its like a film set from 'Bladerunner'. You can be sure that all the people who say its a wonderful piece of architecture live in agreeable Georgian terraces or country cottages with roses round the door.
1/5
GoogleNasty area so many cars and pollution, good help those who live here breathing in that air all day every day!. To look at also very un attractive however no signs of graffiti and the area around with very little litter.
5/5
GoogleFantastic original design standing out well amongst the more mundane and ordinary surrounding buildings. A pleasure to see it every time - would just love to make friendships with some of the residents so that I can enjoy the view from it as well.
