LIVING IN BOW A Traditional Cockney Residential
Area with Major Transformation Plans Underway
With major regeneration plans and steady economic
growth over the last decade, Bow is a
one-of-a-kind place to live in Londons Zone 2.
Rich in history and with a wide variety of
properties, this area is a bustling urban centre
that has become very popular with young families
and young professionals. And, lets not forget
students. Bow is in the immediate vicinity of the
renowned Queen Mary University of
London. Although largely residential, Bow also
offers plenty of shopping and leisure activities.
This East London gem hosts many local and
bigger-brand shops, a great mix of eateries and
pubs, as well as a market three times a week. The
Underground District and Hammersmith City lines
offer short commutes from Bow to the financial
district of Canary Wharf, as well as the City
Centre. There is also no shortage of green areas
here. Victoria Park and the Queen Elizabeth
Olympic Park are within walking distance from
anywhere and there is plenty of outdoor and
sports fun to be had there by Bow
residents. Bows inclusion in the urban
development plans relating to the 2012 Olympics
given its proximity to Queen Elizabeth Park has
left a very positive mark on the area.
Refurbished council housing or transformed former
industrial buildings are widely found in Bow,
along with classic Victorian and Georgian
residential properties.

ABOUT THE AREA BOW GUIDE
Nestled in East Londons Borough of Tower
Hamlets, Bow is only 4.6 miles east of Charing
Cross. It became part of the County of London in
1888. Its name is actually an abbreviation and a
reference to its bowed bridge dating back to the
12th century. The original and full name of Bow
is Stratford-at-Bow. The area has seen a
succession of regeneration schemes in recent
years. In 2010, the Big Lottery Fund of the
National Lottery awarded a 4.5 million grant to
the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. In its turn,
the Borough had to commit to a 12 million
programme of major improvements to the area of
Victoria Park. Subsequently, the urban
regeneration brought about by the hosting of the
2012 Olympics also included numerous council
homes refurbishments, as well as new residential
developments in Bow.
