Area Guide
Barking
Riverside regeneration with room to grow.
Our take
What we tell clients about Barking
Barking is one of London's biggest regeneration stories. The riverside quarter keeps adding homes, and the town centre's historic core around the Abbey ruins gives it more character than outsiders expect.
Yields draw investors here; our advice is to be selective about developments and think in decades, not cycles.
