Our History
The West London Islamic Centre has a rich history dating back to the 1980’s. Since that time it has gone on to become one of the most active Islamic institutions West London. WLIC was established in 1984 to serve the needs of the then fledgling Muslim community of Ealing and Hanwell. The original Mosque based at 119 & 121 Oaklands Road, comprised of two shops that had been converted to accommodate men and women. In 1996 by the Grace of Allah (swt), an opportunity arose to purchase a large delivery depot/warehouse in West Ealing.
With a number of bids made for the well situated site, the Mosque offer was accepted and the current West London Islamic Centre & Jamia Masjid was established. Over the years the Centre has developed a positive reputation for its all-welcoming, inclusive service model and dedicated outreach work. In 2010 WLIC completed a land purchase of additional sections of the site from the London Borough of Ealing and in 2012 a new planning application for a purpose-built 63,000 sq ft scheme was submitted and later received approval in 2013. The vision was to build a landmark, self-sufficient facility with the well-being and welfare of the Muslim and wider community at its heart. Education remains a key objective and future enhanced services and facilities will include:
- Publicly accessible restaurant and bookshop
- A complete floor dedicated to education both religious and national curriculum based
- A dynamic, fully equipped fitness centre
- Multi-function banqueting and conference facilities
- Modern library and community clinic
- Funeral services
The first phase of the redevelopment was completed in 2019. Find out more and support the second phase by making a donation here
