Barking Park: The Lake 1,371 birds cannot be wrong. The west end of The Lake in Barking Park is the place to be.
River Roding in Barking Looking upstream, the footbridge in 111233 and the tower blocks in 322334 can both be seen in the distance. The reed beds visible along this reach of the river are important, and in this area, unique wildlife environments. In a couple of places the river has meandered in the past, but the meanders have subsequently silted up allowing the reeds to grow. However the organization that was responsible for building the flood defence walls has gone to great lengths to preserve the reeds by building the wall around the outskirts of the old meander line.

Staff were great, very friendly and accommodating. Unfortunately the ac in our room did not work and it was very hot in the room, woke up in the night and the room was 24c. The hotel seems quite run down and a little freshen up would be great.
