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. 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.' Many slums were cleared during the course of the 20th century, a process hastened by bomb damage in the Second World War.

St Paul's Church dates from 1960 (replacing one damaged in the war) and is now a Grade II listed building.
