The River Roding is an approximately 80 km (50 mile ) long left tributary of the Thames, which rises northeast of Stansted Airport at Molehill Green and flows into the Thames in the London suburb of Creekmouth as Barking Creek . The estuary is secured by the Barking Flood Barrier .
In its final 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 grounds of the Tottenham Hotspur football club on the M11, it flows through the border between the county of Essex in the north and the Greater London administrative unit in the south, formed in 1965 . The London borough of Ilford , east of the Roding, owes its name to the medieval name Hyle (trickling stream) for the Roding (1086 first mention of the name Ilefort meaning ford over the Hyle ).
