Barking Riverside is a railway station in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, East London. The station serves the Barking Riverside regeneration area,[2][3] and was built as part of a £327m extension of the Gospel Oak to Barking line to the area.[4] It opened on 18 July 2022.[5] It is served by London Overground, and provides interchange with the Uber Boat by Thames Clippers boat service from Barking Riverside Pier.[6]

The extension runs partly over the existing London, Tilbury and Southend line from Barking, operated over by c2c, and over 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) of new track laid to the new station.[7] The extension reduces typical journey times to the centre of Barking from the area by 18 minutes.[8]
