Brick Lane Mosque — Attraction in London

Sisters/ Womens entrance is well signed. We popped in for asr and maghreb prayer (not jammat) and were able to access the space without issue alhamdullilah.

The prayer space is well maintained and really nice; as is the remainder of the areas and stairs down to the sisters area. Ample wudhu space and very clean. Two toilets also available quite clean but sisters should be mindful to clean after themselves and maintain a nice space. I saw there is security camera when entering which is reassuring to know it will be safe. There are hooks for garments, shoe racks, books/quran, fans available. It does get quite warm down there. A water cooler or tap to refill bottles would be amazing addition.

This prayer space does seem to be a hidden gem, I asked my cousins who are from the area and they were not aware this mosque had a sisters space - I discovered it via the 'muslimah app'.

The space is indeed the basement area I liked that this makes it secluded but sisters we should mind our words when leaving reviews- I've travelled from quite far and am not familiar with this mosque and nearly didn't attend due to the very harsh reviews left before, this prayer space was almost made to sound like a dungeon! I understand maybe the space is smaller than wed like but alhamdullilah for the space, since attending mosque is not obligatory by the mercy of our lord for sisters I can understand why the majority of the space for the time being is for the brothers. InshaAllah in the future the sisters...

I went last year. Truely awful at being considerate to women at all otherwise we wouldn't be left to use some underground bunker type thing, going down some dubious looking staircase in such a state that it looks like it's not been cleaned or maintained in decades, if ever. I couldn't find the entrance and so mistakenly used the wrong door (not exactly the worst crime in the world). The steward (wearing a hi vis) who was clearly spawned and grown in Bangladesh through his thick accent but unfortunately also through his disgusting misogynistic behaviour said abruptly 'yes, what do you want?' in the most hostile tone he could. This is no way to speak to anybody you simpleton. I did complain to them via email at the time..there was no response or apology so they dont seem to care.

Edit..the women who are complimenting the women's bunker have not seen the mens section, ive been to the men's...a world of difference in beauty, easy of access (especially for our elders who can't go up and down these mental stairs) and peace (the bunker is down in a dingy subterranean level, cut of from everyone and scary, and next to the morgue, i had to leave cuz i got the creeps from what could be behind the double sdoors, i had a strong foreboding that...

Brick Lane Jamme Masjid (Bengali: ব্রিক লেন জামে মসজিদ, Arabic: جامع مسجد بريك لين‎ "Brick Lane Congregational Mosque"). Formerly known as the London Jamme Masjid (লন্ডন জামে মসজিদ, جامع مسجد لندن "London Congregational Mosque"), is a Muslim place of worship in Central London and is in the East End of London. The building at 59 Brick Lane, on the corner of Fournier Street, has been home to a succession of Christian, Jewish, and Muslim communities since its construction in the mid-eighteenth century, reflecting the waves of immigration in the neighbourhood of Spitalfields. The former Great Synagogue is a Grade II* listed building, the adjacent former school buildings (now used as an ancillary building to the mosque) is listed Grade II.

First constructed in 1743, the building that houses the Brick Lane Jamme Masjid (also known as the Brick Lane Mosque) has passed through the hands of three major religions during its near-300 year history, and stands as a symbol for the history of migration to...
