Thames View

About

Thames View is a residential area in Barking and Dagenham, located along the northern bank of the River Thames. The area is primarily made up of housing estates, with a mix of low-rise flats and terraced homes. It is bordered by industrial zones to the east and the A13 road to the north, providing connections to central London and Essex. The Thames Path runs through the area, offering walking routes with views of the river.

Local amenities include a few shops, schools, and community centers, though larger retail options are found in nearby Barking town center. Public transport links include bus routes, while the nearest train station is Barking, about 2 miles away. The area has seen some redevelopment in recent years, with new housing projects aimed at improving living conditions. Thames View retains a quiet, suburban feel despite its proximity to industrial sites and major transport routes.
