Join us for a behind-the-scenes tour of the Baitul Futuh Mosque, voted one of the ‘Top 50 Buildings in the World’ by Spectator magazine. This extraordinary complex, also known as the Morden Mosque, is one of the largest in Western Europe.
The mosque was completed in 2003 at a cost of £15 million, made up entirely from donations of British Ahmadi Muslims, who have a motto of ‘Love for all, hatred for none’.
Oxford architectural studio Sutton Griffin designed the complex and Carter Jonas designed the mosque with the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association.
The design of Baitul Futuh aims to combine modern British architecture with sustainability. The building design won the prestigious Green Award. The mosque incorporates low energy and sustainable technologies including, solar panels, efficient heating and cooling systems, and other energy and water saving features which contribute towards its green footprint.
Architects John McAslan + Partners, notable for King’s Cross station and The Roundhouse in London, were chosen to design a large administration block in the location of the previous block, which was damaged by a serious fire in 2015.
