Barking is an interchange station serving the town of Barking, east London. It is served by London Underground, London Overground and National Rail main line services. It is located on Station Parade, in the town centre.

On the London Underground, it is a stop on the District line and is also the eastern terminus of the Hammersmith & City line. On the London Overground, it is on the Suffragette line. On the National Rail network, it is served by c2c services operating to and from Fenchurch Street. There is also interchange with London Buses and East London Transit routes on the station frontage. The Underground station is the busiest in the network outside of Zones 1 and 2.

The station was opened in 1854 by the London, Tilbury and Southend Railway as one of the first stations on the route. It was rebuilt in 1908 and again in 1959. As of June 2023^[update], significant redevelopment of the station is ongoing. C2c is unable to provide an end date for the ongoing refurbishment. [1]
