The East London Mosque (ELM) is situated in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets between Whitechapel and Aldgate East.[2] Combined with the adjoining London Muslim Centre and Maryam Centre, it is one of the largest mosques in Western Europe accommodating more than 7,000 worshippers for congregational prayers.[1] The mosque was one of the first in the UK to be allowed to use loudspeakers to broadcast the adhan.[3]
