# Leytonstone Masjid
Leytonstone Masjid is London's oldest mosque in Waltham Forest, established in 1969 to serve the Muslim community of Leytonstone and surrounding areas. Operating as a registered charity, it functions as far more than a prayer facility—it's a comprehensive community hub addressing the spiritual, educational and social needs of local Muslims.
The mosque provides five daily prayers with live streaming capabilities through their eMasjid platform, allowing worshippers to join remotely via digital receivers. Beyond worship, they deliver substantial community support including Quranic education through their Madressa programme, marriage solemnization services (Nikkah), and funeral arrangements. The organisation also offers advice and counselling to vulnerable community members.
What distinguishes Leytonstone Masjid is its commitment to interfaith engagement and local outreach. They provide guided tours to schools and organisations, actively fostering understanding between the Muslim community and broader society. Their modern digital infrastructure—including live Quranic recitation and Adhan broadcasts, plus a WhatsApp channel for community updates—keeps worshippers connected and informed.
The mosque maintains a dedicated team of staff and volunteers ensuring consistent service delivery. Their weekly Islamic programmes cater to various learning needs, whilst their transparent charity registration demonstrates accountability and legitimate community focus. This combination of traditional Islamic services with contemporary community engagement and educational initiatives makes Leytonstone Masjid an integral institution within East London's multicultural landscape.
