Old Listings We Dropped from Barking and Dagenham Hotels

The earlier version of this guide named two places we could not verify. Searches on hotel and booking sites found no lodging called Dagenham Apartments in the borough. We also found no hotel called The Stifford in Barking. The closest match was Mercure Thurrock Stifford Hall, on High Road in North Stifford near Grays. Accor lists the address in Thurrock, not in Barking and Dagenham, so we left Stifford Hall out.

The old text also placed the Creekside Discovery Centre in this borough. The centre describes its own site as having private access to Deptford Creek. This points to south east London, so we removed the claim. The old text also named the Thames Barrier Park, which we could not tie to this borough, and Parsons Park, which is properly named Parsloes Park.

Older text also described some hotels as central to Dagenham East Station. Premier Inn sits on Dagenham Heathway. Only the Travelodge on Yew Tree Avenue is a short walk from Dagenham East.

Where to Stay Near Eastbury Manor House and Barking Abbey Ruins

Travelodge London Barking is the best match for visitors who want Barking town centre. The two ibis hotels on Highbridge Road are also in Barking. We did not source walking times from these hotels to the sights, so check a map.

Eastbury Manor House is at Eastbury Square, Barking, IG11 9SN. The council describes a Grade I listed Elizabethan house, owned by the National Trust and managed by the council. Features include early 17th century wall paintings, a spiral oak staircase and a walled garden. The National Trust page lists a cafe, shop and grounds, with hours of 10am to 4pm for the day we checked. The council page mentions Sunday opening only. Call 020 8227 2942 before you go.

The Barking Abbey ruins sit in Abbey Green on The Broadway. The council says the abbey was founded in 666 AD and demolished shortly after 1541. The Curfew Tower is the only surviving building from the abbey era. Most of the remaining ruins are buried, and the visible low walls are less than a century old. The council hosts a classical concert and fireworks there each May. The council page gave no opening hours.

Where to Stay Near Parsloes Park and Valence House

Dagenham hotels suit visitors who want the parks and the A13. Parsloes Park covers about 59.6 hectares at Gale Street and Parsloes Avenue, according to the London Gardens Trust. The park opened in 1935 and has play areas, sports pitches, a pond, a rose garden and a pavilion. The Trust says the park is open at all times. Becontree and Dagenham Heathway are the nearest Underground stations.

Valence House Museum is open on reduced hours, according to a council notice. The museum runs Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday from 10am to 4pm, with free entry. The Tulip Tree Tearoom keeps similar days. The council is carrying out an 800 thousand pound restoration, but the page gave no end date. Hours may have changed since the notice, so confirm by phone.
