A Muslim charity is hoping to convert a former restaurant building in South Woodford into an inclusive community centre, open to people of all backgrounds and faiths.

“Subject to planning permission, our aim is to create a welcoming, safe and positive environment where everyone feels respected, supported and inspired. The venue will host talks, events, workshops and family-friendly activities,” said a spokesperson for Seven Spikes Relief.

The building at 159–161 High Road was formerly home to the E Eighteen restaurant.
