History of Centre

It may be fate, or it may be coincidence, but it is surely highly appropriate that the building which now houses the South London Islamic Centre should have started life some 100 years ago as a fire station.

It was then a protection and a safeguard for the local community against the threat of fire in this world; it now offers protection to the same community against the danger of fire in the Hereafter.

South London Islamic Centre, also commonly referred to as Streatham Mosque, is a well-established Masjid and Islamic Centre. Since it’s founding, it has taken seriously the spiritual and academic well-being of the Muslim community. We always strongly encourage and advocate the unity and brotherhood of the Muslim Ummah and have always made the Centres facilities available to all Muslim societies and organisations. South London Islamic Centre has been, and will be, an important and major focus of Muslim activity in South London Insha’Allah and a source of peace and security to the Muslim community.
