London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, United Kingdom

The London borough of Barking and Dagenham lies in the east of London and, because of its location at the edge of London, is often described as ‘outer London borough’. Between 2001 and 2011, Barking and Dagenham had a 205% increase in non-UK born residents, caused by the out-movement of long-established British residents, the in-movement of ethnic minorities from inner London boroughs, as well as international migration.
