Police say it’s in connection with an alleged plan to target two mosques in the area.
The mosques affected have been contacted by police and are being provided with ongoing advice and support by specialist officers.
Commander Helen Flanagan, Head of CTP London said: “This is a very serious terrorism charge against a young boy and likely to be highly concerning to the public and the local community. We know this will be particularly concerning to the Muslim community and we are working closely with the venues affected to ensure they are kept updated.”
The child’s been remanded in custody to appear in court tomorrow.
