Description
City East at Barking Riverside is a location where urban living meets the Thames – and where stylish living is made affordable and accessible for East London, the City, and the Capital. An ambitious vibrant community in a contemporary setting at the heart of the Thames Gateway, this is a true environment for the 21st Century, where impressive eco-credentials meet contemporary architecture and striking landscaped setting.
With a choice of one, two and three bedroom apartments as well as three and four bedroom houses, there is the flexibility to find your personal space in this vibrant new quarter. Barking Riverside has already won acclaim and awards for its design and layout, and it is also already benefiting from new transport links and amenities as the new community takes shape – such as the Rivergate Centre, a hub of health, schooling, leisure and neighbourhood activities.

About Bellway Homes Ltd
A REPUTATION YOU CAN RELY ON
Over 60 years of great homes and great service
When it comes to buying your new home it is reassuring to know that you are dealing with one of the most successful companies in the country, with a reputation built on designing and creating fine houses and apartments nationwide backed up with one of the industry’s best after-care services.
In 1946 John and Russell Bell, newly demobbed, joined their father John T. Bell in a small family owned housebuilding business in Newcastle upon Tyne. From the very beginning John T. Bell & Sons, as the new company was called, were determined to break the mould. In the early 1950s Kenneth Bell joined his brothers in the company and new approaches to design layout and finishes were developed. In 1963 John T. Bell & Sons became part of the public corporate scene and the name Bellway evolved.
Continuing growth
Today Bellway is one of Britain’s largest house building companies and is continuing to grow throughout the country. Since its formation, Bellway has built and sold over 100,000 homes catering for first time buyers to more seasoned home buyers and their families. The Group’s rapid growth has turned Bellway into a multi-million pound company, employing over 2,000 people directly and many more sub-contractors. From its original base in Newcastle upon Tyne the Group has expanded in to all regions of the country and is now poised for further growth.
Our homes are designed, built and marketed by local teams operating from regional offices managed and staffed by local people. This allows the company to stay close to its customers and take key decisions about design, build, materials, planning and marketing in response to local and not national demands. A simple point, but one which we believe distinguishes Bellway.
