Suleymaniye Mosque, 212-216 Kingsland Road, London E2
The Suleymaniye Mosque is one of London’s newest mosques. It was opened in the early-1990s, and has been built with Turkish funding. Due to its proximity to Old Street and the City, although the congregation is dominated by the Turkish community, it is also far more mixed than the Azizia Mosque further up in Dalston. The quasi-Ottoman architecture both inside and outside is tasteful, combining the modern down-toning of its exterior with the traditional Iznik tilework around the mihrab. The mosque also has a good function hall, has its own onsite school, and another popular canteen. It has become something of a local land-mark, not least following a visit in 2002 by HRH The Prince of Wales, with whom the old Turkish ladies had a nice chat. It is quickly becoming one of London’s key Islamic centres.

mashAllah…why can’t we have something like this in Toronto or Brampton
