Behind the leisure centre and theatre is the elegant
20th century Barking Town Hall and rejuvenated main
square. Reminiscent of a European piazza with its tall,
vibrantly coloured new apartments, there's a cool
woodland oasis at its heart. At the centre of the
square is Relish coffee shop, situated adjacent to
Barking Learning Centre which incorporates the
library, learning gallery, conference centre and The
Bathouse Spa is currently located here. Nearby,
Barking's East Street market brings a colourful bustle
to the area four days a week.
