Brick Lane Mosque, Grade II* listed mosque in Tower Hamlets, United Kingdom.
Brick Lane Mosque is a red brick building at the corner of Brick Lane and Fournier Street with Georgian architectural features and a modern minaret. The interior has been arranged to accommodate worshippers during daily prayers and religious gatherings throughout the year.
The building was constructed in 1743 as a chapel for French Huguenots fleeing religious persecution. It later became a synagogue before being converted into a mosque in 1976.
The mosque serves as a gathering place for the local Bengali community, where worshippers gather in a space that reflects their religious identity. You can sense the strong connection between the building and the neighborhood residents who have made it central to their daily lives.
The entrance is located on Brick Lane and is easily accessible by foot; the building sits in a busy neighborhood with good public transport connections. Visitors should know that access may be limited during prayer times, especially on Fridays when attendance is highest.
The building still carries traces of its French origins in its facade elements, even though it now serves a completely different purpose. This blend of old architecture and new function shows how a space can transform while honoring its past.
