In The Name Of Allah
The Beneficent The Merciful

The Shah Jahan Mosque, built in 1889 by Dr Gottlieb Wilhelm Leitner, was the first mosque to be built in the UK and Northern Europe. The mosque is situated on Oriental Road in Woking, about three quarters of a mile from the railway station and town centre.

The original mosque can hold up to 60 worshippers and continues to be utilised for daily prayers. However since the weekly congregations far exceed this capacity the mosque was fortunate to be able to redeem the lease on a number of buildings which it had leased to James Walker in 1994.
