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.
