Bow Quarter

Bow Quarter is a historic gated community in Tower Hamlets, London, originally the site of the Bryant and May match factory, known for the significant Match Girls' strike of 1888 that led to improved labor conditions for women. Redeveloped in the 1980s, it features 733 modern flats and amenities set in landscaped grounds, while preserving its industrial heritage. The area has attracted notable residents and was featured in the TV series If..., making it an interesting destination for tourists and researchers interested in social history and urban renewal.
