Description
Barking Riverside Limited (BRL) is a joint venture between L&Q and the Greater London Authority, responsible for delivering one of Europe’s most ambitious regeneration projects. Barking Riverside is a 443-acre brownfield site, formerly home to Barking Power Station which is now being transformed into a vibrant new neighbourhood of 20,000 homes, with a sense of community and belonging.
