I live in Dagenham ( 5 mins. walk from Dagenham Heathway Station)!!! THINK ABT ME!
Dad bought a house here , so... nope... won't pack my bags.
And it does feel awkward if you take a walk and all you see are whites. But I feel relieved if there's even 1 black on the street or on the bus.
But not to worry, Seven Kings area nearby is a mainly Asian and Turkish area. They even have AL-NOOR islamic primary school , a big building proudly standing on the main road.
I also see these days that police are regularly patrolling on buses and on teen hanging places( e.g. outside fish n chips shop) And there's at least one Asian or Black policeman always.
All fish n chips shops in this area r owned and ran by Pakistanis
And even closer to the station is the ROYAL BENGAL TANDOORI restaurant where business is blooming with Brit diners.
And I also went to the nearby Barking College in Dagenham for 2 years. So, I have been in the area for 4 years!
