Opening of Barking Riverside Pier

Some of our pupils joined other pupils from across Barking and Dagenham and hopped onboard to mark the launch of the borough’s new stop on the Uber Boat by Thames Clippers service.

Barking Riverside pier is the latest addition to the network, which has 24 stops along the Thames.

The children and staff were given the opportunity to board a river bus that took them into central London and back to the pier.

The experience was arranged by Barking Riverside Limited, Barking and Dagenham Council and Uber Boat by Thames Clippers.

Council leader Darren Rodwell called the new service “an important step in the regeneration of our borough”.

One of our Year 10 pupils described the whole experience as follow: ‘Today I went on an Uber boat on a trip around London. I really liked seeing Tower Bridge. I enjoyed waving at people on the Tower Bridge. I liked that the boat went really fast. Overall I had so much fun and would love to go again.’
