The district of Dagenham manages to balance its close proximity to the centre of London with the historical charms of a town. The area’s name was first recorded all the way back in A.D. 687 and its heritage can be appreciated in the distinctive architecture of a number of buildings. These include the 17^th-century vicarage, the parish church of St Peter and St Paul, and the 15^th-century Cross Keys public house which once stood in Dagenham’s old village.

The local history of the area can also be appreciated in places such as the Valence House Museum. This medieval house, surrounded by gardens, a moat and docklands, is the only surviving example of Dagenham’s five manor homes. Today, it plays hosts to exhibitions exploring the town’s archaeology, the rural life of its residents and its storied past.

Stunning Victorian architecture is also proudly on display at the Grade I Listed Crossness Pumping Station, which once served as Dagenham’s sewage pumping station. Meanwhile, Heathway Shopping Centre in the heart of the district brings a contemporary touch, with its selection of modern stores attracting more than 70,000 shoppers a week.

Alongside these attractions are a wealth of open green spaces. These include the 43-hectare Mayesbrook public park, the thriving nature areas within Eastbrookend Country Park, and the sporting facilities of Central Park. From family-friendly days out to a tranquil escape from the capital’s hustle and bustle, Dagenham’s parks and natural splendour will serve you well.

While Dagenham may be a mainly residential area, it is conveniently located only 11.5 miles east of Charing Cross. Thanks to excellent bus and Underground connections, commuters can enjoy all the professional prospects, educational opportunities, and entertaining attractions across London with ease.
