The River Thames forms the southern edge of the borough. In many places there is a Thames Path, following the river, however views are problematic due to the high flood defences and industrial premises on the waterfront.

The River Roding forms the western boundary with the London Borough of Newham. This is accessible around the Town Quay area, Barking's former port.
