You are positioned in a 15-minute neighborhood where everything you need is literally steps away.

The lifestyle here is a perfect split between urban convenience and natural beauty. You are within easy reach of the scenic walks along the Thames Path and the lush green spaces of Raleigh Park. For the foodies, the square offers everything from casual takeaways to destination dining at Pappo, a fine-dining restaurant and wine bar run by a former Michelin-star chef.
