Barking has always been a thriving centre of commerce. From its heritage as London’s busiest fishing port to now with the Ford car plant, shipping, pharmaceutical, food, energy and clothing companies to name a few.
Innovation and creativity is key to their success and one of the fastest growing sectors of the economy are the creative industries – from art & architecture to film & TV. We’ve been working to bring creative individuals and industries to Barking where they benefit from proximity to central London, Thames Gateway growth, excellent research and teaching facilities with UEL, Barking College, and our schools, and new creative venues, workspaces and studios.
