Bethnal Green features a significant Muslim community. As a result, it is home to 4 Islamic mosques: the Globe Town Cultural Centre and Mosque, the Baitul Aman Cultural Centre and Mosque, the Senegambian Islamic Cultural Centre and Darul Hadis Latifiah. Bethnal Green is also home to the London Buddhist Centre, one of the biggest centres of its kind in the west. This complex is the focus of a significant Buddhist business and residential community.
There is also a wide array of Christian historical churches. St John on Bethnal Green is the most important of them all. It’s located between Roman Road and Bethnal Green and it sits close to the Bethnal Green tube station. The church building was designed by John Soane and it was constructed between 1826 and 1828. The Church of St Matthew is also extremely significant. It dates from 1746 and its design was signed by George Dance the Elder. The church building has been damaged by a fire, plus it was affected by the World War II bombing campaigns. Other churches that are worth a visit are St Bartholomew, St James the Great, St James-the-less and St Peter’s.
