Dagenham East tube station

Dagenham East is a London Underground station located on the eastern side of the town of Dagenham in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, east London. It is on the District line between Dagenham Heathway to the west and Elm Park to the east. It is 6.4 kilometres along the line from the eastern terminus at Upminster and 27.8 kilometres to Earl's Court in central London where the line divides into numerous branches. The station has moderate usage for a suburban station, with approximately 3 million exits/entrances per year.

It was opened as a main line station in 1885 and was called Dagenham. The current station buildings date from the introduction of electric services in 1932 and of typical railway architectural style for the period, with little trace remaining of the station's Victorian origins. In 2006 the station was extensively refurbished by Metronet.
