What's it like to live in Bow?
Bow is a genuinely residential part of east London that gets overlooked in favour of flashier neighbours. Mile End Park and the Regent's Canal provide green space and waterside walking. Victoria Park is a short walk north. Transport is excellent — the District and Hammersmith & City lines, plus the DLR and nearby Central line at Mile End. Bow offers more space for the money than Bethnal Green or Hackney, with a mix of Victorian terraces, ex-council properties, and new developments near the canal.
