Dagenham Dock

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dagenham Dock is a place in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham in London, United Kingdom.

It is located to the south of Dagenham and on the River Thames. It was once the site of a large coaling port and continues to be the location of a small terminal licensed to handle coal off-loading.

The area is planned to be the site of an environmentally sustainable business cluster, part of the London Riverside section of the Thames Gateway zone. Expansion of the little-used Dagenham Dock railway station is expected to aid the development including services on the Docklands Light Railway[1] and East London Transit.[2]
