Village is a ward in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham centred on the historic core of Barking. It bridges a compact town centre of shops and markets with older residential streets, and contains notable remnants of the town’s long history such as the site of Barking Abbey and St Margaret's Church, plus conservation areas that reflect its medieval and Victorian past.
The ward is socially and culturally diverse, with a lively high street around Barking Market, community centres and regular local events. Economically it has seen steady regeneration in recent years, benefiting from proximity to new housing schemes like Barking Riverside, good transport links via Barking Station and easy access to the River Roding, making it a mix of historic character and contemporary town-centre life.
