About Dagenham
Dagenham is located 11.5 miles (18.5 km) east of Charing Cross. It was historically a rural parish in the Becontree Hundred of Essex, stretching from Hainault Forest in the north to the River Thames in the south. It remained mostly undeveloped until 1921, when the London County Council began construction of the large estate of Becontrees. The population significantly increased as people moved to the new housing in the early 20th century.
