The Roman Road and Bow Neighbourhood

This sought-after neighbourhood is a thriving, highly desirable and lively place to live, with good schools, beautiful green spaces and a well-known food and drink culture. The excellent transport links provide easy access to the City, Canary Wharf and beyond, making it an ideal location for professionals and families alike.

Kenilworth Road and the other Victorian streets of the Driffield Road Conservation area are not only an architectural delight, but they are very friendly and have a strong community feel, and the house is in the catchment area of the popular Chisenhale Primary School.  

Despite the quietness of the immediate locality, the Roman Road and Bow in general, provide bustle and life with a plethora of independent cafes, bars and restaurants to choose from and a variety of convenience stores are at hand. From independent boutiques to well-known high street brands, there is something to suit all tastes and budgets.  

The famous Roman Road Market offers an eclectic mix of vintage clothing, fresh produce, and artisanal goods, and there is a Sunday food market in the park, with Broadway and the Columbia Road Flower Markets, a 20-minute stroll along the picturesque Regents Canal.

Mile End tube station is just a short walk away from where the Central, District, and Hammersmith and City lines can be accessed, providing easy access to all parts of the city.  Express coaches to Stanstead Airport leave from Mile End, and from Whitechapel, two stops west of Mile End, Heathrow Airport can be reached in 35 minutes via the Elizabeth Line.   There are also excellent bus links, including the number 8, 277, 425 and 339 buses, making it easy to get around the local area in all directions and beyond. 

Victoria Park, which is a 213-acre park that was opened in 1845 and is one of the oldest public parks in London. It features a large lake, numerous walking and cycling paths, playgrounds, cafes, and sports facilities. The park also hosts various events throughout the year, including music festivals,
food markets, and sporting events. It is considered one of the most popular and well-loved parks in London, providing a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. The Olympic Park and London Stadium are a 20-minute walk away, and the Regents Canal, that flows beside Victoria Park, connects Limehouse Basin and the Thames to the South and Islington to the north.

 It is no wonder that properties are in high demand in this special area, with its unique blend of old-world charm, modern-day convenience and beautiful green spaces.
