The River Roding in the London Borough of Barking

The Roding is a 80 km (50 miles ) long left tributary of the River Thames, the northeast of the airport at Stansted Molehill Green springs and flows as Barking Creek in the River Thames in the London suburb Creekmouth. On their last kilometers it forms the natural border between the London Borough of Newham in the West and the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham in the east.

Immediately west of the training ground of the football club Tottenham Hotspur on the M11 it flows through the boundary between the county of Essex in the north and the administrative unit in 1965 formed Greater London in the south. The east of the Roding located London Borough of Ilford owes its name to the medieval term " Hyle " ( dribbling current) for the Roding ( 1086 first mention of the name Ilefort meaning " ford over the Hyle ").
