Central Mosque Wembley, Grade II listed mosque in Wembley, United Kingdom
Central Mosque Wembley is a mosque in North London that was originally built as a church in the early 1900s. The building features red brick walls and has been adapted to serve Islamic worship with prayer halls and community spaces.
The building was designed in 1904 as St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church to serve Protestant worshippers. It was converted to a mosque in 1993 and has served the Islamic community ever since.
The mosque serves as a gathering place for the local Muslim community, hosting daily prayers and educational programs throughout the week. Visitors notice families arriving for services and notice how the space brings people together for shared religious observance.
The mosque provides prayer halls, educational rooms, and spaces for religious ceremonies including weddings and funerals. Visitors should follow protocols for entering and be prepared to follow dress code expectations when visiting the building.
The mosque has special permission to broadcast the call to prayer through loudspeakers during Friday services, which is unusual in urban Britain. This authorization reflects the religious diversity that exists in this part of London.
