Thames View

Thames View is a residential neighbourhood in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, located directly on the northern bank of the River Thames. The area is characterised by post-war housing, including several low-rise estates and terraced homes. Its layout is defined by the A13 road to the north and the river to the south, creating a distinct, somewhat isolated pocket. Industrial sites and logistics depots are present along the eastern margins.

The area offers direct access to the Thames Path, providing views across the water to the Erith Marshes. A specific local feature is the presence of the Mayesbrook Park, which includes regenerated wetlands within its boundaries. Housing is primarily social and affordable, with ongoing regeneration projects focused on the estates. The local economy is supported by nearby retail parks and the community is served by several bus routes connecting to Barking town centre.
