Uber Boat to Barking Riverside: a river option for guests
How Uber Boat by Thames Clippers fits into a journey to Arcadia Riverside, alongside Overground, bus and car.
Barking Riverside has its own pier as well as an Overground station. That means some guests can travel into the district by Uber Boat by Thames Clippers, then continue to the venue by a short local walk or connection. It is one option among several, not the front door.
What the river route actually is
Uber Boat by Thames Clippers runs from central London piers to Barking Riverside Pier. From the pier, guests still need to get to 47 Thames Road. Most parties will find Overground or car quicker and simpler; the boat is useful when someone already prefers the river, or when you want a scenic leg into the neighbourhood.
For everyone else
Arcadia is 42 minutes from Fenchurch Street on the Overground, about 22 minutes by car from central London, on round-the-clock bus routes, with 50-plus free parking spaces. Put the everyday routes on the invitation, and mention the pier only if it helps a guest who wants it. The full detail is on the Getting Here page.
