Originally constructed in 1861 as a Bryant and May matchstick factory, the Bow Quarter holds a significant place in history. The factory, once the largest in London, was the site of the Match Girls' Strike in the 1880s. This strike led to the formation of the Union of Women Matchmakers, later renamed the Matchmakers Union. In 2022, the site's historical importance was recognized by English Heritage with a blue plaque, which can be found on the front of the building near the concierge office. The rich history of the Bow Quarter and its architectural significance contribute to the strong sense of community that exists today in the beautifully preserved gated community.
