Barking
About Barking
Barking Abbey, a former monastery, was well-known as one of the most influential nunneries in the country. Today, though now mostly in ruins, Abbey Green is often used for outdoor classical concerts and has excellent acoustics for residents to enjoy. With a population of 59,000 residents, Barking is a thriving East London suburb. With accessible transport at the heart of the area, bus links are plentiful and frequent, as is the Barking overground train station. The line travels east towards Barking Riverside and West towards Gospel Oak station.
The Barking Community
Within Barking lives a thriving ecosystem. It is a popular and discreet spot for film and television studios looking for excellent facilities in London. It also houses a 50m swimming pool in Becontree Heath Leisure Centre in Dagenham - making it the only Olympic-length pool in London other than the London Aquatics Centre in Stratford. In addition, the large Barking area is bustling with a combination of local businesses, commercial outlets, residential properties and an integrated sense of community spirit that provides a local feel in a London Borough.
