Chequered floors and gold chandeliers, this is the cloistered environment of Barking Square.

The sun shines on the far side offices and flats of Barking Square, Central Barking.

Above the cloisters, these funky green-to-yellow balconies certainly can't be missed and make, in my opinion, a pleasing sight for a town characterised by its tradition (and let's face it, quite a bit of 60s drabness).
