Shamir and Reschma Jetha live in Alameda, Quintain Living, with their two sons. They share what family life in Wembley Park looks like, from co-working downstairs to football in the podium garden.
The Jetha family told Wembley Park's editorial team what family life looks like in the neighbourhood, from Alameda's co-working space to splash pads, fountains and the allotments. This interview was originally published in Wembley Park's Park Life magazine, so some of the details may have changed since.
Who are you and how long have you lived in Wembley Park?
I'm Shamir Jetha and I'm a business consultant. I live in Wembley Park with my wife Reschma, an entrepreneur, and our two sons. We've been living in Quintain Living's Alameda for two years now.
What does your average day in Wembley Park entail?
We have breakfast together each morning, then Reschma takes the children to school. I spend most of the day in the cosy co-working space at Alameda, while Reschma works from our apartment. I love the atmosphere of Alameda's co-working space. I get to meet other residents and there's a lounge to relax in before and after work.
After Reschma picks the children up from school, they head to the second-floor podium garden. They love to play football there or simply rest and read a book if it's been a tiring day. It's a lovely outdoor space with a great view of the Stadium. Depending on the day, we might visit the allotments too.
We have a family dinner then relax and read together. We like to spend time as a family talking about the things we have to be grateful for before bedtime. Then once the children are in bed, Reschma and I enjoy the chance to relax together.
How would you describe life at Wembley Park?
Wembley Park has such a good vibe. The neighbourhood feels really safe and there is so much to enjoy, with all the shops, restaurants and leisure venues. There's a lot for the children to do as well. They like to cycle and play football, plus the splash pads and fountains are a huge hit during the summer months.
The whole neighbourhood is great for family life. The pedestrianised boulevards are good as they are safe for young children and so less stressful for parents. Wembley Park is an amazing place to live.
