I like most is that my child's nursery and school are nearby, same applies to shops. The area itself is dangerous. Very dangerous actually. The atmosphere in our area is.. Romania.. Gypsy Romania.. Those people are begging everywhere, they are rude and as soon as hundreds, or maybe thousands of them moved to Barking, this area has much more rubbish on the pavements, and it became overcrowded and overly loud.
Transport
Well, the trains and buses services are not that bad to be honest, although usually I have to wait for buses for a long time, therefore they are usually crowded. The cleanliness in buses and trains is average, but the toilets in Barking station are disgusting.

Where I live, our neighbours in surrounding houses are English senior citizens. Fortunately, Wilmington Gardens is a very quiet place. Talking about bin collections, I am disappointed. Every Monday general waste gets collected, but recycled rubbish gets taken away around once a month, so we always have to pile up plenty of bags around the bin.
Amenities
The range in shops is pretty wide, you can find Chinese food, Indian food, Turkish, Polish, English and so on. We are always able to find what we need. The quality in most shops is usually good, only once in a while in Iceland I accidentally buy smelly meat. Well, the most popular place is Barking Park, and its amazing! There are lots of different birds, plenty of squirrels, kids play area, tennis courts, plenty of activities and beautiful nature. I think what is missing is indoor places for children's entertainment, and indoor activities for adults, like leasure centre with pool or a bowling alley.
Mostly I like the friendly people, and exercising in the park is one of my hobbies now, as the gym is closed.

Transport
Well, during the rush hour the station and trains are extremely packed. Especially district and Hammersmith line. And I don't even know how to resolve that issue, as that train usually comes every minute or two. Nothing much more can be done. Also, the station shouldn't be smelling this bad.
Community
I am surrounded by young people, Fortunately, as I am young myself. I love that the Government is trying to make all the streets with permits, so then all of the people have their own parking space not occupied when a neighbour has guests.
Amenities
Well the open spaces are, as I would consider parks. They are well taken care of, that's for sure, some streets are messy but mostly the area is clean. What I find it missing, is that I have to travel to buy clothing. A shop like Primark is in every area, should be here too. Anyways, its always possible to shop for clothes in Barking Market, but it's not very pleasant trying clothes on outside.
There is not enough bars for people too go chill out or hav a drink.
It suitable for children it just some people wanna keep in your business n pets are cool but if u hav like a mastif dog just know that owners with small dogs are picking up them dog
Transport
Well London is dirty already but same time it a thing where transport personally I think trains n busses shud be cleaned more frequently n also shud be 24 hrs no matter the area
Community
Parking is okish but need more because people tend to park infront of someone’s drive way and then they can’t get in or out. Bin collections brilliantly done. Social behaviour is great Only time u really c traffic is when school runs
Amenities
Most shops are ok but some of them have no home training n no manners then you have take away food shops like why oh why they let beggers in when they just give problems I don’t know. There is not enough bars for people too go chill out or hav a drink. Parks are same like everywhere else open then close too build flats or houses s as n we defo need some places where the places are just open so for example someone can have a function in a venue without upsetting the whole neighbourhood
