The house

Welcome to the Bow Locks section on The Big Breakfast's biggest star - the house its self.

Lock Keeper's Cottages was one of the icons of the The Big Breakfast that set it apart from any other TV show. You see, The Big Breakfast wasn't filmed in a bland TV studio - it was broadcast live from a bright and colourful row of cottages in Bow, East London that date back to 1947. The house was so iconic it captured the heart of the nation - so much so The Big Breakfast even gave away an exact replica as a prize.

This section of Bow Locks is a guide to Lock Keeper's Cottage, its past, its makovers and its future.
