Alphabetical thing: Becontree

Becontree Underground station is on Upminster branch of the District line, in Zone 5.  There are two platforms linked by a footbridge leading to the ticket office.









What's immediately outside the station? Two small parades of shops, mostly generic convenience stores, greasy spoons, and beauty parlours, but with an old-fashioned family butchers.



Beyond that are just streets and streets of standard suburban terraces and semis stretching into the distance.




Is it near a tree? Yes, there's a small park with trees and a lake.
