The foundation of the building was for a Jewish synagogue but was later turned into a church before it was bought by Ahmadiyya Muslim Community UK and converted into a mosque.
The Baitul Futuh Mosque, also known as the Morden Mosque, is a mosque complex in Morden, London. It is one of the largest mosques in Western Europe. Completed in 2003 at a cost of £15 million, entirely from donations of British Ahmadis, the full complex can accommodate 13,000 people.
The Fazl Mosque, also known as The London Mosque, is the first purpose-built mosque in the British capital. It was inaugurated on 23 October 1926 in Southfields, Wandsworth.
It is one of the largest Muslim centres in Europe. The mosque is open to all men and women, and its main prayer halls currently hold between 2,500 and 3,000 people during a Friday service, with over 15,000 worshippers walking through the mosque's doors during the multiple services held on the religious festivals of Eid.
It currently serves as the mosque on the site of the international headquarters of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, known as Islamabad (English: Place of Islam).
The building, originally known as Nasir Hall, was home to the Lower Gillingham Liberal and Radical Club until the early 1970s. It has been used by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community since 1975.

As one of the few mosques in Britain permitted to broadcast calls to prayer (azan), the mosque soon found itself at the center of a public debate about "noise pollution" when local non-Muslim residents began to protest.
