UK Mosque/Masjid Directory
These pages are a searchable directory of mosques, properly masaajid, in the UK and Ireland, along with information about each one. It has been compiled primarily to assist Muslims who are unfamiliar with a locality to find out where the mosques are. It may also assist others providing services to the community, such as local government, police and community organisations to find where they can make contact with different parts of the local Muslim community. (Thus it supports the remainder of this website, which is dedicated to overcoming the obstacles that Muslims ourselves have created, whether due to ethnic or sectarian divisions or by limiting access through 'approved' channels only.)

STATUS: There are currently 1917 locations listed in the mosques directory (including circa 29 uncertain, 135 multi-faith, and 228 defunct addresses). So far approximately 831 masjid positions are marked precisely, about another 300 to within 1 or 2 buildings, about 100 more within 50 metres, and the rest (about 380) are approximate based on postcode co-ordinates. These are slowly being pinpointed at about 10-20 per week. If you know they are wrongly positioned and can help pinpoint them using local knowledge, please let us know, either by sending in the correct Latitude and Longitude, or Grid Reference, or a map snapshot or a picture, or even just text, e.g. "3 houses further along to the South West". The information is downloadable as a complete file, so you will be helping anyone who wishes to use the data, not just clients of this website.
A report on the current detailed statistics is downloadable as a PDF file. Download latest report.
