Historic manor house, the only one surviving in Dagenham, and now a local museum and gallery.
Valence House Museum is the only surviving of the five manor houses of Dagenham. The timber-framed museum building, partially surrounded by a moat built to keep livestock in place, is situated in Valence Park off Becontree Avenue, in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, London, England. The building has been used as a manor house, a family home, a town hall, the headquarters of the library service and now houses a museum.

Elizabethan gentry house with gardens.
Interesting structure from an architectural point of view. Unfortunately it is also the locale of choice for the native rude-boys to hang out, alas this is not due to the educational value of the institution.
The home rink of London Raiders, who play Sept-March in the National Ice Hockey League, England's second tier.
A pleasant green area, Essex County Cricket team used to play on the pitch in the western side of the park.
Langtons
Attractive house, with a beautiful landscaped garden. The house is now used as the registry office of the London Borough of Havering.
Remaining grounds of the 18th century mansion Wanstead House, with woods and ornamental lakes. The Temple (opening hours vary, check website) is the visitor centre covering the history of the park.
