East Ham East Ham is a place in the London Borough of Newham. The principal offices of Newham Council are located on the corner of Barking Road and the High Street in the former East Ham Town Hall, a grand victorian structure with a clock tower. From 1904 to 1965 East Ham was an independent county borough which was administered from here. To the north of East Ham is Manor Park and Little Ilford, to the east over the North Circular Road is Barking, to the west is Upton Park and to the south over the A13 is Beckton and London City Airport. Housing in East Ham consists principally of Victorian terraced town houses, often in tree lined streets, which radiate from the High Street. Mass transport is provided by East Ham tube station and bus services which form a hub near the Town Hall.
