East London Mosque, Islamic religious center in Tower Hamlets, United Kingdom
The East London Mosque contains three connected buildings with multiple prayer halls, educational facilities, and community spaces across its expansive complex.
The mosque originated from the London Mosque Fund establishment in 1910, when Muslim residents and visitors needed a dedicated place of worship in the capital.
The institution maintains a primary and secondary school that combines national curriculum subjects with Islamic education for students in the local community.
Located between Whitechapel and Aldgate East stations, the mosque accommodates 7,000 worshippers and broadcasts daily prayer calls through authorized loudspeakers.
The facility includes the Maryam Centre, which opened in 2013 to provide specialized services and dedicated prayer spaces for women in the community.
