Description
|
The mosque occupies a site next
to Regent's Park donated to the Muslim
community of Britain by King George
VI. In 1944 an Islamic Cultural
Centre was built here that the King
opened. In the 1970s a competition
was held for the design of a mosque to be
added to the site and Gibberd's submission
was selected, a decade after he finished
his Catholic Cathedral in Liverpool.
The mosque features a prayer hall capable
of accommodating 5000 worshipers.
