Welcome to The Wilds at Barking Riverside, a new ecology centre and public space now open to the public.

We are pleased to confirm that The Wilds opened its doors on Saturday 17th July, and a Summer Series of programming, activities and entertainment has begun.

Designed and managed by Barking Riverside Limited (BRL), The Wilds includes a coffee shop called GROUNDED, brought to you by Coffee:Works, a new co-operative business created by Every One Every Day and a group of local people. The space also hosts a packed programme of workshops, exhibitions, and special events. You can co-work from The Wilds, hire the space for making, growing, and learning, and take advantage of other membership offers.

The Wilds is brought to you in partnership:
