Info
Chadwell Heath is a relatively affluent suburban area in east London, England. It straddles the boundary of the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham and the London Borough of Redbridge, and it is located 12 miles (19 km) northeast of Charing Cross. It became a coaching stop and absorbed the neighbouring hamlet of Chadwell Street in the parish of Barking. Chadwell Heath station opened in 1864, connecting it to central London by rail. After the First World War the area developed as a residential suburb and formed the northern limit of the Becontree estate, causing an increase in population density. It has formed part of Greater London since 1965. Chadwell Heath is within the Romford post town and the London 020 telephone area code. It was the final residence of Eva Hart, a survivor of the RMS Titanic, and a local pub is named after her. Situated in the Chadwell Heath District Centre, is The Embassy Cinema; a former art deco/streamline moderne cinema established in 1934.The area is home to one of the most successful schools in the country, the Chadwell Heath Academy.
