10 reasons to live in Bromley-by-Bow
Bow River Village is our collection of waterfront homes situated on the banks of the River Lea in Bromley-by-Bow. We’ve rounded up our top 10 reasons on why Bromley-by-Bow is a great place to live:

Bromley-by-Bow has recently undergone an extensive £1.1bn redevelopment. It is located moments away from Stratford which is home to the £12bn Legacy of London 2012. The area is also close to Tower Hamlets which will benefit from a £9m investment to improve the local transport.
2. Elizabeth Line
