Barking College is located on the borders of the London Boroughs of Barking & Dagenham, Havering and Redbridge with easy access to the District underground line, the Liverpool Street to Southend railway line and the C2C railway line. The local 174 bus stops outside the college. The deceptively large campus is surrounded by parkland which helps to add to the relaxed atmosphere.

The college has a reputation which attracts students from far and wide. With such a large campus area the workshop facilities for practical study are unrivalled and we have a team of staff delivering learning support to help you achieve your chosen goal. Students have access to a fully equipped gym, a sports hall with its own sports pitches, a refectory and a coffee bar. The relaxation facilities also help to make Barking College a great place to study. Many former students have gone on to great success.
