About

Barking Riverside ward occupies the southeastern edge of the borough, a large-scale development on former industrial land beside the River Thames. The area is dominated by modern housing estates and apartment blocks, with significant construction ongoing to expand residential capacity. Its infrastructure is evolving, centered around the Barking Riverside Overground station which provides a transport link. Open spaces are integral, including the linear River Road Park and planned access to the Thames foreshore.

The area's landscape is marked by the presence of the Barking Riverside Energy Centre, a distinct facility serving the development's heating network. Community facilities are being established alongside the new homes, with several schools already operational. The ward's layout is defined by wide avenues and a focus on pedestrian pathways, creating a grid-like pattern distinct from older parts of the borough. It functions as a separate residential zone, with its commercial and social amenities still developing within the new build environment.
