Bow East
Tower Hamlets, London
Bow East covers the eastern half of Bow in Tower Hamlets, from the Roman Road down to the River Lea and across to Victoria Park. Around 47 percent of the ward falls inside a conservation area and the listed-building set of 30 entries is led by the Grade II* Church of St Mary Stratford Bow, the Grade II* Parnell Road Bridge and the Grade II 223 Bow Road. Nature is strong: 61 hectares of green space anchored by the 45.9-hectare Victoria Park, one of the most used parks in east London. Forty-nine outstanding-rated schools sit within reach, and the food and nonFood venue counts of 134 and 161 reflect Roman Road's market and the dense culture scene around Bow. The drawbacks are the active-regeneration ones. Safety sits at 38 below the London median, the planning-disruption score of 28 confirms continuing Lea-side development, and public-transport access is only moderate despite Bow Road, Bow Church and Mile End.
