Mosque in London, England, United Kingdom From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Aziziye Mosque (Turkish: Aziziye Camii) is a mosque in Stoke Newington, London. The mosque was funded by the UK Turkish Islamic Association and the conversion began in 1983. Turks who had once felt reluctant to attend a ‘non-Turkish’ mosque welcomed the congregation as services were provided in the Turkish language rather than in English or Arabic.[1] The total capacity is 2,000 people.[2] The institution includes a Halal butcher, a weekend school (Aziziye Education Centre), a wedding hall and a restaurant.[3]
