1. Affordability – Compared to other parts of London, Barking offers relatively affordable housing, making it a good option for first-time buyers and renters. 2. Transport Links – Barking Station connects to the District and Hammersmith & City lines, the Overground, and C2C services, offering quick access to central London and Essex. The upcoming Elizabeth Line at nearby Ilford further enhances connectivity.

Of course, as with any development, there’s always room for improvement, but overall, the landlord has been professional, and the living experience here has been positive. I’d definitely recommend this building to anyone looking for a well-managed, comfortable place to live.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

efore moving here, I wish I had known how challenging parking can be. While some buildings offer private or allocated parking, street parking is often limited, and permit regulations can be quite strict. If you rely on a car, it’s important to check parking availability in advance to avoid any hassle. Planning ahead can save a lot of time and frustration!
