About East London Mosque
The East London Mosque on Whitechapel Road, in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, grew out of the London Mosque Fund, set up on 9 November 1910 at a meeting at the Ritz Hotel to provide a permanent place for Friday prayers in London. Prayers were held in rented rooms until 1940, when three houses at 446 to 448 Commercial Road were bought, and the East London Mosque and Islamic Culture Centre was inaugurated there on 2 August 1941. In 1975 the local authority acquired those buildings by compulsory purchase and provided a temporary site on Whitechapel Road, next to the Fieldgate Street Great Synagogue.
The purpose-built mosque on that site was built from 1982 and consecrated in 1985. The six-storey London Muslim Centre next to it was built between 2002 and 2004 and opened on 11 June 2004, raising the prayer capacity to about 5,000, and the Maryam Centre, opened on 4 July 2013, brought the combined capacity to more than 7,000 for congregational prayers. The centre has multipurpose halls, a nursery, classrooms, a library and offices.
Besides prayers, the mosque runs a full-time primary school for girls and boys and a full-time boys' secondary school in the complex, advice and counselling services including a free professional counselling service for women, support for new Muslims, a women's fitness hub, a youth hub, birth, marriage and death services, and British Sign Language support, and it hires out halls, meeting rooms and classrooms. It is a member of the Tower Hamlets Inter Faith Forum and a founding member of The East London Communities Organisation (TELCO). The prayer times on this page are the start times calculated for the area; the mosque publishes its own congregation timetable.
