Alphabetical thing: Bow Church

Bow Church station is on the Stratford branch of the Docklands Light Railway. Like most DLR stations, it's ungated and doesn't have a proper ticket office. Stairs and lifts lead directly between the two platforms and the road above.

What's outside the station? The parish church of St Mary, Bow, standing on a large traffic island in the middle of the road. There's a statue of Gladstone outside it, commemorating the fact that he gave in to pressure from the local match factories.

Is it near Bow bells? Well, it's near a very orange pub called The Bow Bells.

However, the original Bow bells belong to a different Bow church in the City of London.
