The Bower is a beautifully designed mixed-use development in London. Consisting of three modern spaces, the 320,000 sq ft development offers a contemporary environment for businesses as well as being a vibrant restaurant and retail destination.

Companies occupying The Bower are forward-thinking and technologically advanced, so this development required an entrance solution to match its tenants’ high standards and security needs.

Customised Fastlane Glassgate 250 turnstiles with an integrated access control system, capable of reading different types of card, have been installed at two entrances within the building complex.
