I agree with [livejournal.com profile] espresso_addict, your triple-deckers look lovely! I assume you like living in them, too, since I conclude from your comment that you have chosen to move to a new one when you had to move from the old ones.

One of my main gripes with flats in the UK is that they so very rarely have balconies; in Sweden, where I grew up, most flats will have a balcony, and it is practically unheard of that anything built this century doesn't have one. Out of the flats I have lived in and visited in the UK very few have balconies. It is actually one of the reasons I bought a house when I moved here rather than a flat; one of my must-haves for my new home was some outdoor space, either in the form of a balcony or a garden. I had never actually had a garden of my own before, so I wasn't sure how much I would enjoy it. As it turns out, I love having a garden, so I am most pleased with going with a house, but I still feel sorry for the people living in flats and not getting any outdoor space of their own!
