Area guide
Moving to or from Barking: what to know
Barking is one of the fastest-changing parts of east London. The town centre has seen major regeneration, and Barking Riverside, on the banks of the Thames, is one of the largest housing developments in the country, served by its own London Overground station and a river bus pier.
The area has excellent transport: the District and Hammersmith & City lines, c2c and Overground services at Barking station, and the A13 and A406 for road links. That makes it popular with renters and first-time buyers who want new homes with good links into central London.
Short- and long-term containerised storage is available alongside removals. Contact us to discuss the facility location, access and transport arrangements.
Older parts of Barking around Upney and Eastbury have interwar and Victorian homes with narrower stairs and halls, which need a different approach to the riverside apartment blocks.
Preparing for your Barking move
- 1.Call us as soon as you have likely dates, even if they're not confirmed. Contact us to check availability for Barking.
- 2.Book a free survey so we can see your Barking property, check access and plan the right van and crew.
- 3.Check parking at both addresses. If your street in Barking has controlled parking, ask the council about permits or suspensions.
- 4.Decide what you don't want to keep. We can take it away under our Environment Agency Waste Carrier Licence, as an agreed disposal service.
- 5.Keep valuables, documents, medication and chargers with you on the day.

Know before you move
Moving challenges in Barking
Every area has its own quirks. These are considerations to discuss when planning your Barking move.
Property types
New-build blocks often require booked lift slots and set move times. Victorian terraces have narrow hallways where furniture may need dismantling.
Weather
Riverside areas can be exposed to wind and rain. Discuss packing and wet-weather handling requirements at the survey.
Roads and parking
The A13 and A406 are busy at peak times, and town-centre roads can have parking restrictions. We plan van access at the survey.
Building age
Victorian homes weren't built for modern sofas or large wardrobes, so careful handling is essential.
Common mistakes on Barking moves
- × Booking without a survey, then finding the van is too small
- × Not checking parking or permits at both addresses
- × Leaving packing until the night before
- × Moving furniture you plan to throw away
