Alibon
Barking and Dagenham, London
PocketsDagenham North (Wantz Stream · Heathway · east)Dagenham Eastbrook (Eastbrook Public House · Dagenham East)
Alibon sits in the middle of Barking and Dagenham, a patch of the interwar Becontree estate laid out north of the A13. The ward is quiet and domestic, built for factory workers at Dagenham Ford in the 1920s and 1930s. The Grade II* Eastbrook Public House anchors a short stretch of older fabric surviving between rows of cottage-style council housing. Five outstanding-rated schools fall within easy walking distance, and day-to-day shopping is covered by Heathway and Dagenham East stations. Air quality is well above the London average once you step back from the arterials, and the residential streets themselves stay low-traffic. The limits are real: there is no conservation area cover, green space comes to only nine hectares, and public-transport access is moderate with no Tube beyond District line stops at the edges. Cultural life is thin — food and retail venues skew utilitarian rather than destination — and the market itself reflects an area that remains one of the more affordable corners of outer east London.

Alibon, quick answers
- Is Alibon safe?
- Alibon scores 50 for safety, based on street-level recorded crime (police.uk) — mid-table for London. The score weighs personal safety, property crime and anti-social behaviour separately rather than ranking on one raw total, so the mix of crime matters as well as the volume.
- Is Alibon a good place to live?
- Alibon scores 41 overall when all nine data layers are weighted equally. The London comparison beside the score shows how that number ranks against every ward. Its strongest suits are air & quiet (80) and property prices & growth (66); its weakest is area development (0). Whether it suits you depends on what you weight — the same data re-ranked around your own priorities can read very differently.

- Is Alibon expensive to buy in?
- Relative to the rest of London, Alibon is among London's more affordable areas to buy: its purchase-affordability score is 18/20, where higher means cheaper per square foot (HM Land Registry sold prices matched to floor areas).
