About Barkingside
Where to stay in Barkingside
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
The station is the reason to stay out here. Barkingside sits on the Hainault loop of the Central line, so a room near the eastern edge puts Newbury Park one way and Fairlop the other, with Ilford's larger stock down the road. Beds inside the district are scarce.
Most of what is bookable clusters toward Ilford rather than around Saint Laurence Church.
