History
Becontree Heath functioned as the ancient meeting place for Becontree hundred, which covered much of what is now East London. In 1465, the hundred lost territory in the east and the meeting place became located on its fringe.[1] When it was still a rural parish, Becontree Heath was a hamlet in Dagenham.
Geography
It is the location of Dagenham Civic Centre, a grade II listed, 1930s art deco building designed by Ernest Berry Webber[2] and the former town hall of Dagenham Borough Council.
It is also the location of the high density Becontree Heath Estate, built by Barking Borough Council from 1966 to 1970.[3]
Crowlands Heath Golf Club can be found there,[4] along with Becontree Heath Leisure Centre.[5]
