This is also where property prices are a little higher than the rest of the area.
Chadwell Heath also features West View cottages and terraced homes dating back to the 1900s around South Wood Road. Along Heath Road you will find large terraced homes with the traditional bay windows and decent-sized gardens. Eccleston Crescent is also an area that estate agents are seeing a lot of interest in.
Semi-detached homes are available around Rochford Avenue and also Tendring Way. Affordable flats from the 1930s can be found on the main High Road.
The Embassy Cinema is a former cinema in Chadwell Heath now listed as an Asset of Community Value. Back in the day, it was referred to as The Gaumont. The building is designed in an art deco style, boasting a modern interior conceived by Harry Weston in the 1930s.
The Embassy Cinema is located on the border of Redbridge and Barking & Dagenham. It was closed down in 1966 and went on to become a bingo hall and then a wedding hall. The old cinema now benefits from community investments looking to restore it to its former glory.
The architecture designed by Harry Weston was lavish, with modernist touches and large windows. Inside, there is a very high foyer with Art Deco metalwork and a floodlit glass column with crystalline rods.
