Discover this exceptional duplex apartment set within the iconic Bryant and May match factory — a perfect blend of industrial heritage and contemporary design. Boasting two spacious mezzanine double bedrooms, this unique home features a vast open-plan reception and kitchen area, our favourite feature is the huge bookshelf with ladder.

Characterised by original factory-style windows and exposed brickwork, the property beautifully retains its industrial charm while offering all the comforts of a stylish urban home. A sleek four piece modern bathroom, generous storage throughout, and distinctive architectural details complete the space.

Perfect for design enthusiasts or anyone seeking a home with real character in a historic setting in East London.

The building itself offers well-maintained communal areas and convenient lift access.

Bow Quarter is an impeccably maintained development and offer a wealth of resident amenities designed to enhance everyday living. A 24-hour concierge service ensures both convenience and peace of mind, while beautifully landscaped communal areas and a large roof terrace with seating provide space to relax and connect. Residents enjoy exclusive use of a superb leisure complex — including a 15-metre heated swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna, steam room, and fully equipped gym with a programe of fitness classes including yoga. An on-site convenience store and postal service further elevate the day-to-day experience.

Set on Fairfield Road, The Bow Quarter is steeped in history. Originally constructed in 1861 as the Bryant & May Match Factory — once London’s largest — the building was the site of the historic Match Girls Strike of the 1880s, a landmark in the formation of the Union of Women Matchmakers. In recognition of its cultural and historical significance, the site was awarded an English Heritage blue plaque in 2022, proudly displayed near the concierge entrance. As one of East London’s first major urban renewal projects, the factory’s striking red-brick architecture remains the heart of this thoughtfully regenerated development.

Connectivity is another key strength. Bow Church DLR station is just 0.2 miles from the development, providing swift access to Stratford, Canary Wharf, and beyond. A short stroll further brings you to Bow Road Underground (0.3 miles), served by the District and Hammersmith & City Lines — placing Central London, including Liverpool Street, just 10–15 minutes away. Hackney Wick Overground Station is also within easy reach (1 mile), offering direct links to Highbury & Islington, Camden, and Kew Gardens.

Bow is equally loved for its proximity to some of East London’s finest green spaces. Grove Hall Park is less than five minutes’ walk, while the expansive Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park is a 10–15 minute stroll away. Victoria Park, a perennial local favourite, lies just 15 minutes on foot, offering scenic canal-side walks that lead all the way to Broadway Market or Columbia Road Flower Market.

Daily amenities are close at hand, with the nearby Bow Road shopping parade offering convenience stores and essential services. For larger-scale shopping and entertainment, Westfield Stratford is just a 20-minute walk or a quick hop on the DLR.

Rich in history, beautifully preserved, and thoughtfully modernised, The Bow Quarter offers more than a home — it offers a lifestyle rooted in heritage, community, and timeless design.
