Marks Gate is a place at the northern tip of the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham in northeast London, England.

It is located immediately north of Chadwell Heath and west of Collier Row.

The name refers to an entrance to Hainault Forest, which once occupied the area north of here. 'Marks' is formed from an old manorial name which is derived from the 14th century de Merk family.[1]

Scenes for the 2009 box office hit Harry Brown starring Cockney actor Michael Caine, and soul music singer Plan B, were filmed here.[citation needed] Famous ex-residents include David Essex who lived in Padnall Road.[citation needed]
