Barking

Best location near Market with multiple brand stores and a mosque for the Muslim community. Beautiful and quiet place with friendly people, but limited grocery stores and supermarkets. Trains come frequently every 3 minutes, but the ramp to overground platforms has a strong smell of urine. Station is filthy, smells like sewage, and has deep puddles on platforms. However, there is now a coffee shop on one of the platforms. Good connection for East London but needs improvement as the outside of the station appears abandoned. Beautiful station with easy access to all of London. Excitement about opening a new station after building work. Very crowded, poorly maintained station in zone 4 with no escalators. However, there are lots of nearby shops, bars, and restaurants. Overall: Mixed opinions
