Bow Common is a small area near Bow in the borough of Tower Hamlets, London, located to the south-east of Mile End. It has historically been a poor, industrial district - a gas works remains in the area.〔Willey, Russ. ''Chambers London Gazetter'', p 53-4.〕 In 1883 anti-poverty campaigner Andrew Mearns commented on the lack of church attendance amongst locals, and Charles Booth described it as 'worse than almost any district in London.'〔Willey, Russ. ''Chambers London Gazetter'', p 53-4.〕 Many slums were cleared during the course of the 20th century, a process hastened by bomb damage in the Second World War.〔Willey, Russ. ''Chambers London Gazetter'', p 53-4.〕 St Paul's Church dates from 1960 (replacing one damaged in the war) and is now a Grade II * listed building.〔Willey, Russ.
