The Neighborhood:
Bow is famously known as being home to the ‘true cockneys’, the criteria for which is being born within earshot of the Bow Bells. It is unpretentious, lively, multi-ethnic and has lots of new bars, gastropubs, coffee shops and eateries, even a new on-site gin distillery at Bow Wharf.
Down-to-earth Roman Road street market is another attraction, while there are well-kept pockets of green space, and Mile End Park forms a green “boulevard” to the Thames at Limehouse. The bustling Bow Road has an industrial feel, while a 10-minute walk will bring you to Victoria Park, with the pretty canal running alongside. Roman Road is a real gem of a high street with a good mix of independent shops and a palpable community spirit. It’s also a hive of activity, with a market on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays offering clothes, accessories, furniture and food.
Getting Around:
The property is well located for various bus routes from Old Road Road and Roman Road whilst Stratford International, Bow Road (District and Hammersmith & City) and Mile End (Central Line) are all easily accessible. Bow has great transport links: Bow Road Tube serves both the Hammersmith & City and District lines, while the nearby Mile End Tube has those plus the Central and Circle lines connecting to central London. Bow Church DLR also gets you to Canary Wharf, Greenwich and Stratford.
There’s a plethora of buses, with stops dotted along the stretch of Bow Road. A mere 10-minute drive to Blackwall Tunnel means you can easily jump onto the M25 too, linking you to the rest of the southeast and beyond.
