Description

Bow Road London Transport Underground Station is a mid to late 19th-century station located on the south side of Bow Road. The exterior features a facade made of red brick, complemented by a stone eaves cornice and a brick blocking course. The roof is hipped and covered with slate. The entrance has alternate round arched doors adorned with terra cotta architraves and keystones, with a band above. The doors are panelled and include fanlights, while the windows consist of four lights.

Inside, there is an enclosed wooden bridge that crosses the platforms, along with a wooden platform canopy supported by large cast iron wall brackets. The barrel vaulted brick roof extends under the road, with the vaulting supported by cast iron beams and large cast iron pillars that run in a line, following the curve of both platforms back into the tunnel. There are 12 columns on one platform and 14 on the other, each hexagonal with engaged shafts at each angle, panelled plinths, and capitals, all painted cream.

Bow Road Underground Station, along with Nos 48-56 (even) and the front boundary wall, forms a group.
