Harrow Central Mosque, Religious center in London Borough of Harrow, England.
Harrow Central Mosque is a mosque on Station Road in the London Borough of Harrow, England. The building has a dome and a minaret and is large enough to hold a substantial number of worshippers at one time.
The community first gathered for prayer in a converted house from 1985 before plans for a dedicated building got underway. The current structure opened in 2011, giving the growing Muslim population of Harrow a purpose-built place to worship.
The mosque sits at the heart of Harrow and draws Muslims from across the wider area for Friday prayers and religious holidays. Visitors who pass by on those days can see the forecourt fill with people from many different backgrounds arriving together.
The mosque is easy to find because it sits right next to Harrow Civic Centre on Station Road. Visitors planning to come on a Friday should keep in mind that the midday prayer draws the largest number of people during the week.
Despite being in a busy urban area, the mosque has its own on-site parking, which is uncommon for a place of worship in this part of London. This makes it accessible to worshippers who travel from farther parts of the borough.
