Central Mosque London
The London Central Mosque is an Islamic place of worship located on the edge of Regent’s Park in central London. It was designed by Sir Frederick Gibberd, completed in 1977, and has a prominent golden dome. The main hall can accommodate over 5,000 male worshippers, with women praying on a balcony overlooking the hall. The mosque holds a chandelier and a vast carpet, with very little furniture. The inside of the dome is decorated with sacred geometry in the Islamic tradition and has small stained-glass windows around its base, containing turquoise coloured 16-pointed stars.
There is also a small bookshop and halal café on the premises. The land was donated by George VI to the Muslim community of Britain in return for the donation of land in Cairo by King Farouk of Egypt and Sudan on which to build an Anglican cathedral.
