Riverside Drive

摘要

The image of Barking Riverside that sticks in the mind is the view along a wide, windy foreshore of marsh and mudflat running for an uninterrupted kilometre along the east London site and, pulled back from the foreshore, six long housing blocks lined up like displaced Camden terraces looking out towards the estuary.rn"Next door, it's going to be more like a Belgian seaside," Gerard Maccreanor says. "It'll have a hard, built waterfront - a bit like Ostend. I think the contrast between the two is going to be extremely nice."rnThe detailed plan for a first phase of 2,000 homes at Barking Reach by Maccreanor Lavington and KCAP was submitted for planning approval last month and with it came the first vivid impressions of what this suburb of 10,800 homes and 25,000 people may eventually become.
