Dagenham Civic Centre, Art Deco town hall in Becontree Heath, London
The Dagenham Civic Centre features a grand entrance with exterior details reflecting the architectural elements of the 1930s British municipal buildings.
Architect E. Berry Webber designed this Grade II listed building, which opened its doors in October 1937 as the local authority headquarters.
The council chamber incorporates walnut panels in a semi-circular layout, while the Mayor's Parlour displays Canadian betula veneer throughout its walls.
The building transformed into CU London educational facility in 2017 following a £4.5 million renovation project by Willmott Dixon.
The interior contains a stair hall made from Botticino marble, decorated ceilings, mahogany doors, and bronze fixtures throughout its spaces.
