Thames View is a residential ward in the east of the London borough of Barking and Dagenham, sitting close to the banks of the River Thames and overlooked by the changing skyline around Barking Riverside. Much of the area grew up as post‑war council housing, with later infill and some newer riverside developments that give a mix of housing types and occasional river views.
Historically tied to the wider Thames‑side industry and the nearby Ford works at Dagenham, the ward has a diverse, working‑class population and has been a focus for regeneration and community investment in East London. Local life centres on schools, community centres and riverside parks, and the area is frequently mentioned in borough plans as part of the wider social and economic renewal of Barking and Dagenham.
