Shah Jahan Mosque, Grade II* listed mosque in Woking, England

Located on Oriental Road, this late Mughal style mosque features Bath and Bargate stone construction with traditional Islamic architectural elements and geometric patterns.

Established in 1889 through funding from Nawab Shah Jahan Begum of Bhopal, this structure stands as the first purpose-built mosque in the United Kingdom.

The mosque maintains separate prayer halls for men and women, conducting regular religious services and educational programs for the local Muslim community.

Two Jumuah prayer sessions take place each Friday at 12:30 PM and 1:30 PM during winter months to accommodate the large number of attendees.

A ship captain determined the exact alignment with Mecca during the construction phase, ensuring proper orientation for prayer activities.
