Barking
The suburban town of Barking in east London features approximately 100,000. It's 14.2 km east of Charing Cross and is among the 35 main centres named in the London Plan. Historically, it had been a fishing settlement in Essex and an ancient parish. After that it moved to market gardening and industrial development towards the south, adjacent to the River Thames.
Barking soon developed into a bigger town and its rail station opened in 1854. It's been served by the London Underground since 1908. Throughout the 20th century, when there was considerable suburban development of London, Barking expanded and increased in population. This was mostly resulting from the development of the London County Council estate at Becontree inside the 1920s. Barking became a municipal borough in 1931 and part of Greater London in 1965.
The town centre is a significant retail and commercial district which is presently in plans for regeneration. You can find former industrial lands to the south which are currently being redeveloped as Barking Riverside, which aims to regenerate the Thames riverside region of East London through new homes, jobs and services. It is made up of 350 acres of brownfield land, and development began in 2008. It is anticipated to be finished by about 2025. 10,000 properties will be constructed, which are expected to house 25,000 people. The developers will also provide new transport links, including East London Transit along with an extension of the Docklands Light Railway at Barking Riverside DLR station.
