The Barking Learning Centre, in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, is a community-based learning facility. The centre is located in Barking Town Square and hosts a library, a cafe, an art gallery, a sauna and spa, and offers a range of courses and qualifications.[2] The Barking Learning Centre website states that its primary focus:

"is to provide education and training opportunities linked to the public service areas of health, education, social care and administration, to support increased participation to learning locally".[3]

The Barking Learning Centre was officially opened on 10 June 2008 by John Denham, the then Secretary of State for Innovation, University and Skills.[4]
