The works were located on East Ham Level, on the north bank of the Thames at Gallions Reach, to the west of Barking Creek.
The plant was opened in 1870 by the Gas Light and Coke Company . The name Beckton was given to the plant and the surrounding area of east London in honour of the company's governor Simon Adams Beck . It came eventually to manufacture gas for most of London north of the Thames, with numerous smaller works being closed. Its counterpart south of the river was the South Metropolitan Gas Co's East Greenwich Gas Works on the Greenwich Peninsula.
