Barking Power Station refers to a series of power stations at former and current sites within the
London Borough of Barking and Dagenham in east London. The original power station site, of the coal-fired A, B and C stations, was at River Road,
Creekmouth, on the north bank of the
River Thames. These stations were decommissioned by the end of the 1980s and have since been demolished. The current gas-fired power station (originally generally known as
Barking Reach Power Station) was built further down the Thames near
Dagenham Dock in the early 1990s. The site of the former power stations is being redeveloped as
Barking Riverside.
