Leytonstone Mosque, situated in Bushwood, Leytonstone, in the London borough of Waltham Forest, was opened in 1976 to cater to the local Muslim community. Since then, the mosque has grown in size and can accommodate about 1,000 (men only). The organisation 'Muslims in Britain' classifies the Leytonstone Mosque as Deobandi (a movement within Sunni Islam).
