A WORD FROM THE OWNER...

"What I've most loved about living in Bow is all the green spaces, great for running routes and relaxation. The Cemetery Park is closest and packed with history. Canal side walks along Mile End Park take you to Victoria Park and the Lido at London Fields. Roman Road offers a number of cute cafes for coffee mornings and brunches, and I've been a regular at the weekend Victoria Park Market. I've been spoilt for choice on pubs for Sunday Roasts and Hackney Wick is also close by for nights out. From Bow, you have all the delights of East London right on your doorstep whilst having unrivalled transport links to Central/wider London - making commuting and connecting with friends elsewhere super easy! Having Bow Road station a mere few minutes walk away has also meant I've never had to worry about coming back late. The area feels very safe and the block/area is quiet for a good night's sleep. I'm really going to miss living in my flat! The kitchen is great to cook in and the open plan space makes it easy to host. The flat and balcony have an open view across allotments and trees to Canary Wharf in the distance, which adds to the spacious feel of the flat. I've seen many great sunsets on the Canary Wharf skyline. Having my own balcony to eat on has also been great, though more recently I put my patio chairs away to give the space over to plants. I'm moving a couple of stops away from the area to settle in a family home with my partner but I'll definitely be back at the weekends to tap into all Bow and the surrounding area has to offer."
