General

• The Notes are designed for investors who seek at maturity a return of two times the appreciation of each component underlying in a weighted basket of three buffered return enhanced components, consisting of the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50^® Index, the FTSE 100™ Index and the TOPIX^® Index, each of which is subject to a different maximum return as described below. Investors should be willing to forgo interest and dividend payments and, if the component underlying declines by more than 10%, be willing to lose some or all of their principal.

• Senior unsecured obligations of Barclays Bank PLC maturing May 1, 2009^†.

• Minimum denominations of $20,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

• The Notes priced on April 18, 2008 and are expected to issue on or about April 23, 2008.

Key Terms	Terms used in this pricing supplement, but not defined herein, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the prospectus supplement.
Issuer:	Barclays Bank PLC
Reference Asset:	A basket comprised of three buffered return enhanced components (each a “basket component”, and together, the “basket components”), each linked to an equity index (each a “component underlying”, and together, the “component underlyings”), weighted as indicated:

Component Underlying	Weighting	Buffer Percentage	Upside Leverage Factor	Maximum Return*	Downside Leverage Factor
Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index	55.00%	10%	2	15.40%	1.1111
FTSETM 100 Index	25.00%	10%	2	13.60%	1.1111
TOPIX® Index	20.00%	10%	2	16.50%	1.1111

Payment at Maturity:	The amount you will receive at maturity is based on the basket return, which in turn is based on the performance of the basket components. At maturity, your payment per $1,000 principal amount of Notes will be calculated as follows: $1,000 + ($1,000 x Basket Return) The maximum payment at maturity is $1,151.80 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes.
Basket Return:	The basket performance will be calculated as follows: W(i) = the weighting of each basket component. CR(i) = the component return of each basket component.
Component Return:	With respect to each basket component, the component return will be calculated as follows: If the final level of the component underlying is greater than its initial level, then the component return for such component underlying is equal to the underlying return multiplied by the upside leverage factor, subject to the maximum return for such basket component. Accordingly, in respect of each basket component, if the underlying return for such basket component is greater than or equal to the maximum return for such basket component, then the component return for such basket component is equal to the maximum return for such basket component. If the final level of the component underlying is equal to its initial level or is less than its initial level by not more than the buffer percentage, then the component return for such component underlying is equal to zero. If the final level of the component underlying is less than its initial level by more than the buffer percentage, then the component return for such component underlying is equal to (a) the sum of the underlying return and the buffer percentage multiplied by (b) the downside leverage factor. For each basket component, if the final level of the applicable component underlying declines from its initial level by more than 10%, your return on the Notes at maturity may be adversely affected and you may lose some or all of your investment at maturity.
Underlying Return:	With respect to each component underlying, the performance of the component underlying from the initial level to the final level, calculated as follows: Final Level – Initial Level Initial Level
Initial Level:	3,808.59 with respect to Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index, 6,056.50 with respect to FTSE 100™ Index and 1,304.06 with respect to TOPIX® Index, which in each case is the closing level on the pricing date.
Final Level:	With respect to each component underlying, the arithmetic average of the closing levels on each of the five averaging dates.
Averaging Dates:	April 22, 2009†, April 23, 2009†, April 24, 2009†, April 27, 2009† and April 28, 2009† (the “final averaging date”)
Maturity Date:	May 1, 2009†
Calculation Agent:	Barclays Bank PLC
CUSIP/ISIN:	06738RWD4 and US06738RWD42

Hypothetical Examples of Amounts Payable at Maturity

The following examples illustrate how the underlying return for each component underlying and the corresponding component return for each basket component set forth in the table above are calculated.

Example 1: The level of the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50^® Index increases from an initial level of 3,808.59 to a final level of 4,037.11, the FTSE 100™ Index increases from an initial level of 6,056.50 to a final level of 6,359.33, and the level of the TOPIX^® Index increases from an initial level of 1,304.06 to a final level of 1,408.38.

Because the final level of each component underlying is greater than its initial level, and each of the underlying return of 6.00% for the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50^® Index, 5.00% for the FTSE 100™ Index and 8.00% for the TOPIX^® Index, each multiplied by 2, does not exceed the applicable maximum return of 15.40%, 13.60% and 16.50%, respectively, the basket return is calculated as follows:

[(6% x 2) x 55%] + [(5% x 2) x 25%] + [(8% x 2) x 20%] = 12.30%

Accordingly, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,123 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + ($1,000 x 12.3%) = $1,123

Example 2: The level of the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50^® Index increases from an initial level of 3,808.59 to a final level of 4,570.31, the FTSE 100™ Index increases from an initial level of 6,056.50 to a final level of 7,873.45, and the level of the TOPIX^® Index increases from an initial level of 1,304.06 to a final level of 1,825.68.

Because the final level of each component underlying is greater than its initial level, and each of the underlying return of 20.00% for the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50^® Index, 30.00% for the FTSE 100™ Index and 40.00% for the TOPIX^® Index, each multiplied by 2, exceeds the applicable maximum return of 15.40%, 13.60% and 16.50%, respectively, the basket return is calculated as follows:

(15.40% x 55%) + (13.60% x 25%) + (16.50% x 20%) = 15.18%

Accordingly, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,151.80 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which reflects the maximum payment at maturity, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + ($1,000 x 15.18%) = $1,151.80

Example 3: The level of the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50^® Index increases from an initial level of 3,808.59 to a final level of 4,189.45, the FTSE 100™ Index increases from an initial level of 6,056.50 to a final level of 6,419.89, and the level of the TOPIX^® Index increases from an initial level of 1,304.06 to a final level of 1,408.38.

Because the final level of each component underlying is greater than its initial level, and the underlying return of 10.00% for the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50^® Index multiplied by 2 exceeds the applicable maximum return of 15.40%, while each of the underlying return of 6.00% for the FTSE 100™ Index and 8.00% for the TOPIX^® Index, each multiplied by 2, does not exceed the applicable maximum return of 13.60% and 16.50%, respectively, the basket return is calculated as follows:

(15.40% x 55%) + [(6% x 2) x 25%] + [(8% x 2) x 20%] = 14.67%

Accordingly, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,146.70 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + ($1,000 x 14.67%) = $1,146.70

Example 4: The level of the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50^® Index decreases from an initial level of 3,808.59 to a final level of 3,618.16, the FTSE 100™ Index decreases from an initial level of 6,056.50 to a final level of 5,753.68, and the level of the TOPIX^® Index decreases from an initial level of 1,304.06 to a final level of 1,238.86.

Because the final level of each component underlying is less than its initial level by not more than 10%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes.

Example 5: The level of the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50^® Index decreases from an initial level of 3,808.59 to a final level of 2,666.01, the FTSE 100™ Index decreases from an initial level of 6,056.50 to a final level of 4,845.20, and the level of the TOPIX^® Index decreases from an initial level of 1,304.06 to a final level of 782.44.

PS–3

Because the final level of each component underlying is less than its initial level by more than 10%, the basket return is calculated as follows:

{[(-30% + 10%) x 1.1111] x 55%} + {[(-20% + 10%) x 1.1111] x 25%} + {[(-40% + 10%) x 1.1111) x 20%} = -21.67%

Accordingly, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $783.30 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + ($1,000 x –21.67%) = $783.30

Example 6: The level of the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50^® Index decreases from an initial level of 3,808.59 to a final level of 2,666.01, the FTSE 100™ Index decreases from an initial level of 6,056.50 to a final level of 5,753.68, and the level of the TOPIX^® Index decreases from an initial level of 1,304.06 to a final level of 782.44. Because the final level of the FTSE 100™ Index is less than its initial level by not more than 10% and the final level of each of the other component underlyings is less than its initial level by more than 10%, the basket return is calculated as follows:

{[(-30% + 10%) x 1.1111] x 55%} + 0% + {[(-40% + 10%) x 1.1111) x 20%} = -18.89%

Accordingly, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $811.10 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + ($1,000 x –18.89%) = $811.10

Example 7: The level of the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50^® Index increases from an initial level of 3,808.59 to a final level of 4,075.19, the FTSE 100™ Index decreases from an initial level of 6,056.50 to a final level of 4,845.20, and the level of the TOPIX^® Index decreases from an initial level of 1,304.06 to a final level of 912.84. Because the final level of the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50^® Index is greater than its initial level, and the underlying return of 7.00% multiplied by 2 does not exceed the applicable maximum return of 15.40%, and the final level of each of the other component underlyings is less than its initial level by more than 10%, the basket return is calculated as follows:

[(7% x 2) x 55%] + {[(-20% + 10%) x 1.1111] x 25%} + {[(-30% + 10%) x 1.1111) x 20%} = .48%

Accordingly, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,004.80 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + ($1,000 x .48%) = $1,004.80

Selected Purchase Considerations

• Appreciation Potential—The Notes provide the opportunity to enhance equity returns by multiplying a positive underlying return for each component underlying by two, up to the maximum return of 15.40% for the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50^® Index, 13.60% for the FTSE 100™ Index and 16.50% for the TOPIX^® Index. Accordingly, your maximum payment at maturity is $1,151.80 for every $1,000 principal amount of Notes. Because the Notes are our senior unsecured obligations, payment of any amount at maturity is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due.

• Limited Protection Against Loss—Payment at maturity of the principal amount of the Notes is protected against a decline in the final level of each component underlying, as compared to the applicable initial level, of up to 10%. If the final level of a component underlying declines by more than 10%, for every 1% decline of the component underlying beyond 10%, the component return for the basket component linked to such component underlying will be reduced by 1.1111%.

Diversification Among the Basket Components—The return on the Notes is linked to a weighted basket consisting of three buffered return enhanced components, each linked to the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50^® Index, the FTSE 100™ Index and the TOPIX^® Index, respectively. The Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50^® Index consists of 50 component stocks of market sector leaders from within the Eurozone. For additional information about the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50^® Index, see the information set forth under “Equity Indices—Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50^® Index” in the index supplement. The FTSE 100™ Index is a capitalization-weighted index of the 100 most highly capitalized companies traded on the London Stock Exchange. For additional information about the FTSE 100™ Index, see the information set forth under “Equity Indices—FTSE 100^TM Index” in the index supplement. The TOPIX^® Index is a free float-adjusted market-capitalization weighted index comprised of all domestic common stocks listed on the First Section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange which have an accumulative length of listing and OTC registration of at least six months. For additional information about the TOPIX^® Index, see the information set forth under “Equity Indices— TOPIX^® Index” in the index supplement.

• Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations—The United States federal income tax consequences of your investment in the Notes are uncertain. Pursuant to the terms of the Notes, Barclays Bank PLC and you agree, in the absence of a change in law or an administrative or judicial ruling to the contrary, to characterize your Notes as a pre-paid cash-settled executory contract with respect to the basket. If your Notes are so treated, you should generally recognize capital gain or loss upon the sale or maturity of your Notes in an amount equal to the difference between the amount you receive at such time and the amount you paid for your Notes. Such gain or loss would generally be long term capital gain or loss if you have held your Notes for more than one year.

PS–4

In the opinion of our special tax counsel, Sullivan & Cromwell LLP, it would be reasonable to treat your Notes in the manner described above. This opinion assumes that the description of the terms of the Notes in this pricing supplement is materially correct.

As discussed further in the accompanying information supplement, the Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service are actively considering various alternative treatments that may apply to instruments such as the Notes, possibly with retroactive effect. In addition, legislation has recently been introduced in Congress that, if enacted, would require holders that acquire the Notes after the bill is enacted to accrue interest income over the term of the Notes despite the fact that there will be no interest payments over the term of the Notes. It is not possible to predict whether this bill or a similar bill will be enacted in the future and whether any such bill would affect the tax treatment of your Notes.

For a further discussion of the tax treatment of your Notes as well as possible alternative characterizations, please see the discussion under the heading “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations—Certain Notes Treated as Forward Contracts or Executory Contracts” in the accompanying prospectus supplement and the discussion under the heading “United States Federal Tax Considerations” in the accompanying information supplement. For additional, important considerations related to tax risks associated with investing in the Notes, you should also examine the discussion in “Selected Risk Considerations—Taxes”, in this pricing supplement. You should further consult your tax advisor as to the possible alternative treatments in respect of the Notes.

Selected Risk Considerations

An investment in the Notes involves significant risks. Investing in the Notes is not equivalent to investing directly in the basket components, the component underlyings or any of the component stocks of the component underlyings. These risks are explained in more detail in the “Risk Factors” section of the prospectus supplement and the index supplement.

• Your Investment in the Notes May Result in a Loss—The Notes do not guarantee any return of principal. The return on the Notes at maturity is linked to the performance of the component underlyings and will depend on whether, and the extent to which, the underlying return is positive or negative. Your investment will be exposed on a leveraged basis to any decline in the final level for any component underlying beyond the 10% buffer percentage as compared to the initial level.

• The Component Return for Each Basket Component Is Limited to the Applicable Maximum Return—If the final level of a component underlying is greater than its initial level, the component return for the basket component linked to such component underlying will not exceed a predetermined percentage, regardless of the appreciation in the component underlying, which may be significant. We refer to this percentage for each basket component as the maximum return, which is 15.40% for the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50^® Index, 13.60% for the FTSE 100™ Index and 16.50% for the TOPIX^® Index. Accordingly, your payment at maturity will not exceed $1,151.80 for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes.

• Changes in the Values of the Component Underlyings May Offset Each Other—Movements in the component underlyings may not correlate with each other. At a time when the level of one or more of the component underlyings increases, the level of the other component underlyings may not increase as much or may even decline. Therefore, in calculating the basket return, increases in the level of one or more of the component underlyings may be moderated, or more than offset, by lesser increases or declines in the level of the other component underlying or component underlyings. For example, the negative component return resulting from a 30% decline in the final level of the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50^® Index, as compared to its initial level, would more than offset the positive component returns resulting from any and all appreciation in both the FTSE 100™ Index and the TOPIX^® Index, which appreciation may be significant.

• No Interest or Dividend Payments or Voting Rights—As a holder of the Notes, you will not receive interest payments, and you will not have voting rights or rights to receive cash dividends or other distributions or other rights that holders of securities composing the component underlyings would have.

• Certain Built-In Costs Are Likely to Adversely Affect the Value of the Notes Prior to Maturity—While the payment at maturity described in this pricing supplement is based on the full principal amount of your Notes, the original issue price of the Notes includes the agent’s commission and the cost of hedging our obligations under the Notes through one or more of our affiliates. As a result, the price, if any, at which Barclays Capital Inc. and other affiliates of Barclays Bank PLC will be willing to purchase Notes from you in secondary market transactions will likely be lower than the original issue price, and any sale prior to the maturity date could result in a substantial loss to you. The Notes are not designed to be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly, you should be able and willing to hold your Notes to maturity.

• No Direct Exposure to Fluctuations in Foreign Exchange Rates—The value of your Notes will not be adjusted for exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the currency in which the stocks composing the component underylings are denominated, although any currency fluctuations could affect the performance of the basket components. Therefore, if the applicable currency appreciates or depreciates relative to the U.S. dollar over the term of the Notes, you will not receive any additional payment or incur any reduction in your payment at maturity.

• Lack of Liquidity—The Notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. Barclays Capital Inc. and other affiliates of Barclays Bank PLC intend to offer to purchase the Notes in the secondary market but are not required to do so. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the Notes easily. Because other dealers are not likely to make a secondary market for the Notes, the price at which you may be able to trade your Notes is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which Barclays Capital Inc. and other affiliates of Barclays Bank PLC are willing to buy the Notes.

• Potential Conflicts—We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the Notes, including acting as calculation agent and hedging our obligations under the Notes. In performing these duties, the economic interests of the calculation agent and other affiliates of ours are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the Notes.

• Taxes—The federal income tax treatment of the Notes is uncertain and the Internal Revenue Service could assert that the Notes should be taxed in a manner that is different than described above. As discussed further in the accompanying information supplement, on December 7, 2007, the Internal Revenue Service issued a notice indicating that it and the Treasury Department are actively considering whether, among other issues, you should be required to accrue interest over the term of an instrument such as the Notes even though you will not receive any payments with respect to the Notes until maturity and whether all or part of the gain you may recognize upon sale or maturity of an instrument such as the Notes could be treated as ordinary income. The outcome of this process is uncertain and could apply on a retroactive basis. In addition, legislation has recently been introduced in Congress that, if enacted, would require holders that acquire the Notes after the bill is enacted to accrue interest income over the term of the Notes despite the fact that there will be no interest payments over the term of the Notes. It is not possible to predict whether this bill or a similar bill will be enacted in the future and whether any such bill would affect the tax treatment of your Notes. You should consult your tax advisor as to the possible alternative treatments in respect of the Notes.

• Many Economic and Market Factors Will Impact the Value of the Notes—In addition to the level of the component underlyings on any day, the value of the Notes will be affected by a number of economic and market factors that may either offset or magnify each other, including:

• the expected volatility of the component underlyings;

• the time to maturity of the Notes;

• the dividend rate on the common stocks underlying the component underlyings;

• interest and yield rates in the market generally;

• a variety of economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events;

• the exchange rate and the volatility of the exchange rate between the U.S. Dollar and the currency in which the stocks composing the component underlyings are denominated; and

• our creditworthiness, including actual or anticipated downgrades in our credit ratings.

Supplemental Plan of Distribution

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and JPMorgan Securities Inc. will act as placement agents for the Notes and will receive a fee from the Company that would not exceed $10 per $1,000 principal amount Note.
