Brick-built terraces and inter-war suburban estates characterise the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham in East London. Created in 1965, it expanded in 1980. The borough is now home to nearly 220,000 residents spread across three main town centres and numerous residential neighbourhoods. The southern stretch falls within the Thames Gateway, designated nationally as a zone for major urban regeneration.
Dagenham is among the most sought-after pockets for primary school catchments, with Barking and Rush Green extending the school-competitive envelope of the wider borough. District and Hammersmith line trains from Barking station reach Bank and King's Cross in central London, whilst Castle Green offers additional residential character to the eastern districts.
