Information about Bow Quarter
Bow Quarter is an apartment complex, located in Bow, London. It consists of 733 one- and two-bedroom apartments and penthouses, together with a handful of unique workers cottages built around late 1800s. Set in seven acres of landscaped grounds, amenities include a residents' gym, swimming pool, jacuzzi, steam room, sauna, bar and restaurant as well as a convenience store and postal facilities. It is located less than 300 metres from the London 2012 Olympic Stadium.
The building was originally the Bryant and May Factory matchstick factory, site of the Match Girl's strike in the 1880s, led by Annie Besant which was part of the overall suffragette movement, and one of the defining moments in trade union history. The Bow Quarter also recently featured in a BBC documentary on gated communities.
Previous residents have included John Barrowman and Steve Strange. Author and TV presenter Danny Wallace recently declared his flat within the Bow Quarter a sovereign micronation with the name of Lovely.
