This page covers the eastern part of the borough — Bow, Bromley-by-Bow, Poplar and Old Ford and the streets around them. The stock here is largely Victorian terraces, post-war estates and regeneration new-build, and we prepare drawings across every one of those types for Tower Hamlets Council.
The Lower Lea Valley and Bromley-by-Bow regeneration is reshaping the east, but for houses the binding controls remain Permitted Development limits and the Bow conservation areas, which we check for each address. Whichever route your address falls under, we confirm it free at the measured survey and design to match the eastern Tower Hamlets streetscape — from period rear and side-return extensions to rear-dormer and mansard loft conversions.
