Creekmouth & Barking Riverside

About

Creekmouth is a small industrial area located along the River Roding in Barking and Dagenham. It is known for its proximity to the Thames and features a mix of warehouses, factories, and logistics hubs. The area has limited residential development but offers access to the riverfront, with some walking paths and green spaces. Creekmouth is primarily functional, serving as a key transport and industrial zone for the borough.

Barking Riverside, adjacent to Creekmouth, is a large-scale regeneration project transforming former industrial land into a residential and commercial district. The area includes new housing, schools, and parks, with plans for improved transport links, including the extension of the London Overground. The River Roding and Thames provide natural boundaries, and the development aims to create a balanced mix of urban and green spaces. Barking Riverside represents a shift from industrial use to a more community-focused environment.
