"Ringley have been supporting a number of leaseholders as managing agent - including myself - through a large insurance claim. It’s not an easy job managing 40+ different competing interests and I commend them for handling such a tricky situation. Dominic and Kate have been been responsive, informative and have advocated my needs and interests to all third party stakeholders. The claim will take a significant amount of time to resolve but had it not of been for Ringley I do not think we would have made any progress at all. I strongly recommend them."

"We have had a problem with noise from the flat above us in Lady Isle House Ferry Court Cardiff. We contacted a Mr Paul Staniforth who immediately became involved and addressed the situation. We really do appreciate what he has done for us and cannot thank him enough. Once again a big thank you to Mr Staniforth. The noise above was intolerable."

Baker Street is situated in the Marylebone district, of the City of Westminster. It is 2.7 miles from the centre of London. The origins of the name refers to William Baker, an entrepreneurial builder. In 1755, he began laying out the street.
From 1835, the sculptor James Fillan lived and worked from 82 Baker Street. Also in 1835, Marie Tussauds a French wax sculptor, founded the wax museum at Baker Street. In 1884, Tussaud's grandsons relocated the museum to its current site, at Marylebone Road. The museum today is known as Madame Tussauds.
One major turning point in the history of Baker Street in the Victorian era, was the opening of the station in 1863. This was the world's first underground network, with the earliest steam-driven trains; and it was served by the Metropolitan Line. Unfortunately, this pioneering route disrupted slum dwellings, leaving around 12,000 poorer Londoners without homes; and they were not offered compensation for their losses.
The Baker Street Underground station we know today, is on the Metropolitan, Circle, Hammersmith & City, Bakerloo and Jubilee Lines. To celebrate the station's 120th anniversary in 1983, its oldest platforms were restored to make them look as close as possible to their original 1863 design.
The street is most famous for its association with the fictional detective, Shirlock Holmes, who lived at 221B Baker Street; and now, there is a popular museum at this address. So, the author Sir Conan Doyle, (1859-1930), has a legacy to be proud of. The novelists Arnold Bennett, (1867-1931), and H. G. Wells, (1866-1946), lived at Chiltern Court on the Regent's Park end of Baker Street.
Prime Minister William Pitt the Younger, (1759-1806) lived at 120 Baker Street, from 1803 to 1804. He is often referred to as "new Tory". However, he called himself an "independent Whig", and was generally opposed to the development of a strict partisan political system.
The singer Dusty Springfield, (1939-1999), lived at Baker Street in the 1960s; and the Beatles' Apple Boutique was based at 94 Baker Street, from 1967 to 1968.

With my friend, I visited Madame Tussauds. Even though we arrived very early, there was still a very long queue. Anyway, it was worth the wait, as we enjoyed a great range of waxwork models. Some of them looked very realistic!

You'll meet singers, musicians, actors, the Royal Family, American fictional super heroes, such as the Incredible Hulk and Spiderman. The Chamber of Horrors shows gangsters and serial killers.

Visitors can journey through London's history, and jump into one of London's iconic black cabs, on a "Spirit of London" ride, and witness the historical and cultural events, that have shaped London into one of the greatest cities in the world.
The Sherlock Holmes Museum, 221B Baker Street, London, NW1, is dedicated to the famous fictional detective, Sherlock Holmes, and his assistant, Dr. Watson.
