Barking Riverside is a large area of redevelopment in East London, England. It is being built on land formerly occupied by Barking Power Station, adjacent to the River Thames. Purchased by Bellway Homes in 1994, the brownfield site has planning permission for 10,800 homes, of which only 1,200 can be built until improved public transport access is provided. The area was initially to be served by an extension of the Docklands Light Railway, but it was announced as part of the 2014 United Kingdom budget that the London Overground Gospel Oak to Barking Line would be extended to Barking Riverside to allow the development to be completed as planned.
