Wonderful manor house 10 minutes walk from Upney underground station on the district line. Enjoyed David's enjoyable and fascinating guided tour of about 1 1/2 hours. So much history to absorb and fantastic original architecture to view. Great little cafe serving freshly made food, cakes and light lunches.

I have now seen five shows at The Broadway and I find it a fantastic little theatre. I have lived and worked around Barking now for two decades, and last year took my first trip to The Broadway theatre, I didn't know what took me so long to go, especially as the tickets are very reasonably priced. On every trip I have found that the staff/ volunteers are extra friendly and always happy to assist. The lobby/bar is very modern and cozy with well priced drinks and snacks. The stage itself is a modest affair, but is perfect for a community theatre like the Broadway. The word community is central to explaining The Broadway, as I feel there is a sense of community pride in and around the theatre you don't find anywhere else in Barking & Dagenham. To summarize the tickets are cheap, the staff are fantastic, the hosting is top notch and I always leave with a smile on my face.

Have just come back from our son’s 11th birthday party this afternoon. All the kids had a great time at Jump followed by 20 mins go karting. Becci and Kayleigh were fantastic with the 20 boys and the karting team were very patient with them when they got a bit excited! Great food and highly recommended. Will definitely be back. Very impressed with the new Jump set up, loads for the kids to do.

A wonderful little gem in the heart of barking. Recently went there for a spa day out with my mum and the first impressions were really positive. From its ambiance & décor, quality facilities to the professionality of staff. The spa was relatively small but had a huge variety of options from a jacqussi to an aromatherapy steam room to a rock sauna amongst others. The massage and the afternoon tea was also a great experience. Overall it was really relaxing and a great day out. If it weren’t for the distance I would have become a member and attended regularly.
