Regeneration ripples hit Bow River Village

In the wake of the 2012 Olympics, the old industrial sites of Bromley-by-Bow were earmarked for regeneration, with plans made for thousands of new homes and amenities. The first major development in the area is Bow River Village, which will eventually provide more than 700 new homes to rent and buy. A shared-ownership home in the village can be had from as little as £131,250 for a 35% share of a one-bedroom flat; outright ownership of a two-bedroom apartment can be had from £512,000, with three-beds starting at £600,000. Bromley-by-Bow tube station and Bow Road DLR are less than five and 10 minutes’ walk respectively, offering easy commutes to the City and Central London, as well as Canary Wharf. A new bridge is planned over the River Lea, giving a more direct walking route to the shops, bars, restaurants and sports facilities at Stratford. Work is underway on the village’s waterfront site, with completion expected by 2021.
