Visitor Information
Originally founded as a church for Hugenots – French protestants who fled to London to avoid persecution in their home country – the chapel was later used by Methodists.
In the late 19th century, when Whitechapel was the centre of the Jewish East End, it became known as the Spitalfields Great Synagogue or the Machzike Adass.
With the dispersal of the Jewish community and a new influx of Bengali immigrants, it became the Great London Mosque or Jamme Masjid in 1976.
