Bow area guide

Bow is an East London neighbourhood that offers residents a unique blend of old world charm and modern living. Dating back to the 1100s, this area has now evolved into a sought-after residential neighbourhood. Commuters in Bow benefit from excellent transport links. Three Tube stations— Bromley-by-Bow, Bow Road and Mile End — along with Bow Church and Devons Road Stations on the DLR offer residents easy access to Canary Wharf, the City and Central London.

Situated within the ‘Golden Triangle’ of the City, Canary Wharf and Stratford – Bow houses a mix of Victorian houses, Georgian townhouses and opulent developments. One of this area’s key attractions is Victoria Park — one of London's oldest public parks. There’s boating, tennis courts, a café and a children’s water play area within this park.

Roman Road is Bow’s main shopping thoroughfare — a bustling market for over 150 years. You can also explore the surrounding independent boutiques, vintage outlets and contemporary cafes such as Mae + Harvey and Zealand Coffee.
