Bow

Bow

Bow in East London and has evolved into a very good location for living and proximity to the city. It is a very old part of London dating back to 12th century when a bridge was built over the River Lea with multiple arches.
Today, whilst London has really been redeveloped all around Bow,  it still retains a lot of it’s original village character.

 

There is one of London’s oldest markets here dating back over 200 years and know as The Roman Road Market.

 

Today, this East End Village is little known and quite a family area, attracting professionals and creative people alike, and in a peaceful contrast to its turbolent past.
