Dagenham East Tube Station
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.

In 2006 the station was extensively refurbished by Metronet.
