Facilities:

• One of the few places with a Wimpy. I think there's a newsagent and photo booths too

• I can confirm that there is a Wimpy there, and there is also a WH Smith newsagents, and it has a shop with a photo booth in it. Also, the Wimpy is next door to a KFC, which is on the left. There is also a jewellers within the station, along with a couple of other shops. Right next door to the right of the station, there is also a Wetherspoon's pub called The Barking Dog, and directly beside it, there is another pub called The Spotted Dog.

• There is also a Taxi rank directly in front of the station.

Miscellany:

Oddly, on the Tube map, it's apparently erroneously marked as an interchange.

I'm guessing that Barking is marked as an interchange because it is also a C2C station, whereas all the other stations between West Ham and Barking aren't interchanges because the C2C doesn't stop there.
