Markets
We run a lively market in Barking Town Centre in partnership with Charfleets Limited, a private company. It is held every week on Saturdays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.
This is a traditional east London general market, but with a difference. It reflects the multicultural society that Barking and Dagenham now has and has welcomed new traders.
You can buy a wide variety of products, including clothing, household products, foods and hardware.
So while other markets have struggled, this one has grown to full capacity. For many of our traders this is their first business. Several have been here since the new market opened in 2001.
Additionally, however, we accept the need to welcome 'daily' traders who come here to experience trading in Barking.
A good market has to accept that constant change is a feature of the business, so for customers there is always something new to see and to keep them interested.
Speciality markets
There are special markets at Christmas time, and occasional French and other continental markets.
Other markets
There is also a large Sunday Market in River Road. This market sells various products and is run exclusively by Charfleets.
