Discover Barking and Dagenham
Barking and Dagenham is an outer east London borough on the north bank of the Thames, with Barking as its main town and Dagenham, Becontree and Chadwell Heath in the north and east. The borough has a long industrial history, and the former Ford works at Dagenham sits alongside a growing base of creative and logistics businesses. The Barking Riverside regeneration is delivering thousands of new homes on the riverfront, with its own Overground station. Barking Abbey and Eastbury Manor House reflect the area's older history. People need to be here for regeneration and construction work, creative and logistics firms, and local business. The A13 and A406 give good road access across the estuary corridor.
