Dagenham East is a London Underground station on the District line,
located in the suburb of Dagenham, in the
London Borough of Barking and Dagenham.
The station is in Zone 5 and is located between Dagenham Heathway
to the west and Elm Park to the east.
The station has moderate usage for a suburban station, with around
2.1 million exits or entrances a year.
The station 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.
