Bow: Zone 2 Apartments with Two Pools and a Spa

Key details

About this property

The address is Bow Common Lane in E3, in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, inside travel Zone 2. Three stations sit within a fourteen minute walk and between them cover the Central, District and Hammersmith and City lines plus the DLR: Mile End is one stop from Stratford on the Central line, Bow Road is three stops from Whitechapel on the District line, and the DLR runs to London City Airport. Canary Wharf is a nine minute cycle and the City is seven minutes by tube. Around the site are Georgian streets, East London parks and canal walks. The masterplan is up to 1,450 homes across five phases on a former gasworks site, threaded through more than five acres of landscaped gardens and water features with an earth sculpture as the centrepiece. This listing covers the first phase, 232 apartments across two buildings, the taller of them nineteen storeys. The mix runs from suites of 427 to 484 square feet, through one bedroom homes of 551 to 629, two bedroom homes of 754 to 1,015 and three bedroom homes of 877 to 1,325. Suites and one bedroom plans carry one bathroom, two and three bedroom plans carry two. Kitchens come fitted with integrated appliances, heating is underfloor, and the apartments in the garden building look directly onto the landscaping while the taller building looks out over Canary Wharf and the City. The residents' club is the part of this that is hard to find elsewhere at the price. It holds an indoor pool and an outdoor pool, a spa with a sauna, a steam room and a treatment room, a gym, a cinema, a games room, a residents' lounge with a reading corner, a meeting room and work booths, and a botanical garden, all on a twenty four hour concierge. A restaurant and a convenience store sit in the first phase itself, so the daily shop does not need the tube. Tenure is a 999 year lease. The estimated service charge is about 4.85 pounds per square foot a year and council tax on these homes is banded E to G. Purchase is a 5,000 pound reservation, ten percent on exchange within twenty eight days, a further ten percent twelve months later and eighty percent on completion. Two things to settle. The first phase was scheduled to hand over in the first half of 2026, so ask for the actual completion date on the specific plot rather than working from the brochure window. And eighty percent falling due on completion is a large final payment that needs planning from the start.
