Dagenham Heathway tube station

Dagenham Heathway is a London Underground station in Dagenham, east London. It stands on the District line between Becontree to the west and Dagenham East to the east. The single-storey brick building was opened in 1932 and rebuilt in 2006. It was renamed from Heathway in 1949 after local demand. The station was designed by William Henry Hamlyn for the London, Midland and Scottish Railway. The station serves the Becontree estate built by the London County Council in the interwar years. It was the busiest intermediate station between Barking and Upminster in 2025. Off-peak trains run every five minutes to Upminster and every five minutes to Earl’s Court. At peak times the service rises to fifteen trains per hour. The station handles around 4.74 million entries and exits each year. Inside, the station has an island platform with a central waiting room and public toilet. A long sloping walkway leads up to the ticket office on the bridge above. The platform buildings are longer than those at Upney, opened the same day. Step-free access is provided from the platform to the street. The station is named after the Heathway shopping street and lies in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham.
