London on the Esplanade, Toronto Condo Reviews 

I’ve been renting at 1 Scott for 2 years and it’s probably my favourite building that I’ve lived in. The location is great. You can walk everywhere. 15 minutes to the lake. 5 minutes to St Lawrence Market. 5 minutes to financial district. Restaurants, movie theatres, parks. And it’s only getting better. It seems the building has a mix of residents. Different ages, different lifestyles. I don’t have much experience with all amenities. I’ve never used the party room. But the gym is decent and movie room is great. I’ve used the shared BBQs. I recommend bringing your own bbq tools. The security/concierge staff are great. And overall there is a good energy in the building.

This building is an inconspicuous, underrated building in a great location. I’ve lived here for a few years and feel it is the perfect blend of downtown like without dealing with hard-partying areas and the club district. Plus it’s right between the original financial district and the new SoCo (south core) area. The building is two blocks from St Lawrence Market and steps from the revamped Berczy Park! And of course, there are several pubs and restaurants in the area but still keeps the feel of a quiet and quaint neighbourhood. True that there is no indoor pool. But otherwise, the amenities are good. The outdoor pool, gym, party room are standard and the concierge is great. The London in the Esplanade remains a secret gem! Definitely worth investigating if you are looking for a downtown home.

This building used to be amazing and very well maintained. Since the last building manager left the building has had nothing but problems. Management has failed to find a competent company to manage the pools, has failed to find a a competent company to manage water issues (we’ve been having hot water problems since Jan 2019) and has failed to fix elevator issues that have been ongoing all summer (we actually have an elevator that will only stop on select floors). If you’re renting, it’s probably fine, but I can’t begin to imagine how the maintenances fees will look in a few years once they have finally paid to get these issues resolved.

This place was probably great back in the day when it was built, but maintenance hasn't been performed on it properly.

The pool is on the 2nd floor, barely gets any sunlight when it is nice out and is always closed for one reason or another. If there are noisy people in the lobby on Saturday night, they put up these ridiculous notices the next morning about how the pool is closed. If the elevators aren't working then the pool is closed, like it makes no sense.

The elevators always take 5-10min to come down and the balconies are tiny.

It's an OK location because it's on the Esplanade but the units are tiny and overpriced for what they are. Strata fees are pretty high too given all the maintenance they DON'T do.

The location and neighborhood are why we purchased in this building. Amenity spaces and lobby are spectacular. Our condo is generous and very well laid out.
