Croydon Mosque

Croydon Mosque, Islamic center in Thornton Heath, London, England

Description

Croydon Mosque on London Road is a place of worship with a distinctive dome built in 1988. The building provides space for daily prayers and religious gatherings for the Muslim community in this area of London.

History

The building traces its origins to informal meetings held in a basement on Derby Road during the 1960s. The current structure was established in 1978 following community-led efforts to create a dedicated worship space.

Culture

The mosque serves as a gathering place for people from many different backgrounds and regions. Visitors experience a diverse community united by shared religious practice and devotion.

Practical

The mosque follows set prayer times that change throughout the year according to the Islamic calendar. Visitors should check the current schedule before arriving, as prayer times shift seasonally.

Did you know?

The building experiences a dramatic increase in activity during Ramadan when the community gathers more frequently. This seasonal change in how the space is used makes the mosque feel quite different at this time of year.
