Becontree Station is a London Underground station on the District Line, located in Becontree. The station is in Zone 5. The station was opened in 1932, when the electrified District Line was extended to Upminster, replacing Gale Street Halt which was built by the London, Tilbury and Southend Railway. The station has four platforms. Two are used by the District Line and another two are disused since the LT&SR service was withdrawn in 1962. The station buildings are of typical 1930s design.
