The mosque in London was initiated in 2004 and planned for use during the Olympics.
Last July
construction began on an expansion project described as:
"The East London Mosque and London Muslim Centre have commenced building works on an eight and half storey project which is primarily focussed on women's need. It will contain brand new funeral facilities, new prayer space for men and women, women' educational facilities and a women's health and fitness centre. "
Now
events are being held to unite local communities.
