Today we stepped out our door and followed one of "50 walks by London writers". Our neighbourhood walk is titled, "Walk like a huguenot" which only begins the story. This part of the east end of London has for centuries seen a continuing wave of immigration, culture and heritage. Religion dominates as evidenced in the Brick Lane Mosque, one of our first stops. Originally a Huguenot chapel in 1743, then Synagogue in the 19th Century, a Methodist Chapel in the early 20th Century, it is now the Jamme Masjid Mosque.
