Barking Riverside sits on the north bank of the River Thames within the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, occupying former industrial and power‑station brownfield beside Barking Creek. Historically part of the Port of London's industrial fringe, the area still shows traces of dockland infrastructure and offers wide riverside views and access to riverside walkways.
Over the last decade it has been the focus of a major brownfield regeneration, delivering thousands of new homes, parks, community facilities and a new Barking Riverside station on the London Overground, which has improved links into London. The neighbourhood now mixes modern riverside living with active debates about infrastructure, jobs and affordable housing as it builds a new, mixed community.
