Vision

A new sustainable community for 21st century London in the heart of the Thames Gateway. A location with exceptional potential and qualities. A riverside setting. A place where people will feel proud to live and work.

Barking Riverside promises to become one of the most important and inspiring new communities in London. Home to more than 26,000 people, enjoying new schools, shopping, parkland, access to the river, new improved transport connections and close to vibrant Barking town centre.

Barking Riverside aspires to deliver an exciting mix of high-density design offering a range of tenures and affordable homes.

Central to the development of Barking Riverside are generous community facilities. Ranging from local shops to a wide variety of healthcare facilities and leisure spaces, as well as three brand new schools.

All this will be set in a high quality environment of parkland and open space, designed for the enjoyment and benefit of the whole community. Access to the riverside is a priority, opening up 2km of riverfront to walkways and cycleways.
