Dagenham Central

About

Dagenham Central is a residential and commercial hub in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham. The area is centered around Dagenham Heathway, a busy shopping street with a mix of independent retailers, supermarkets, and chain stores. Public transport links include the District line tube station, providing direct access to central London. Housing consists largely of mid-20th-century terraced homes and post-war estates, with some newer developments.

The area has several green spaces, including Valence Park and Central Park, offering recreational facilities. Educational institutions like Dagenham Park Church of England School serve the local community. Industrial zones to the east provide employment opportunities, while the nearby A13 road connects the area to wider London. Dagenham Central retains a strong sense of community, with regular markets and events at the Heathway Shopping Centre.
