Bow Quarter

Bow Quarter is a historic residential complex in East London, with a rich and fascinating history. Originally built in the 19th century, it was home to the Bryant and May Match Factory, a significant part of London’s industrial heritage. The factory was famous for producing safety matches but became even more notable due to the Matchgirls' Strike of 1888—a pivotal moment in British labour rights history, where female workers protested against poor working conditions and the use of white phosphorus, which caused serious health issues.

The factory operated for over a century before closing in the late 20th century. In the 1980s, the buildings were transformed into a residential development, preserving much of the original Victorian architecture. Today, Bow Quarter is a sought-after location, combining historical charm with modern living. The site includes converted factory buildings and new structures, offering a mix of loft-style apartments and contemporary flats, set within a gated community with landscaped gardens.

Bow Quarter stands as a symbol of London’s industrial past, social progress, and urban regeneration, making it one of the most unique and historically significant places to live in East London.
