Concord is an area of Washington in City of Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, England. Historically, Concord was part of County Durham, joining the county of Tyne and Wear in 1974, following its creation.
Washington is located between the cities of Durham, Sunderland and Newcastle upon Tyne hence, it has close ties to all three cities.

Concord houses the Washington Millennium Centre, situated in The Oval, which provides youth clubs for children and young people, as well as having an outdoor football area and other regular activities.
