architect = The London Muslim Centre (known as LMC) is a British centre for Muslims and non-Muslims. The cost totalled GB£9 million

The money was contributed by some organisations but mostly individuals have all been giving and collecting money for it. It was opened on 11 June 2004. It aims to let Islam and other faiths get dialogue with each other. On the opening day 15,000 people came to see the new building and the facilities it had to offer. There was a fairground for children and many guests had arrived at the opening. The Shaykh Abdur-Rahman al-Sudays, Imam of the Ka’aba in Mecca (Islam’s holiest mosque) had also come from Saudi Arabia to open the centre. He told the thousands that had gathered that day that this was a shining example of how the British Muslim community were taking great steps forward to enhance community cohesion.

The mosque leaders that day said:'"This uniquely British Muslim centre will bolster London’s reputation as a vibrant and diverse international city."'

Amongst the guests were Racial Equality Minister Fiona Mactaggert, Trevor Phillips, the chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission and senior officials from the Muslim Council of Britain. Prince Charles, who was in Washington for the funeral of the former US president Ronald Reagan, sent a video message of support.

LMC is situated on the right-hand side of East London Mosque who were responsible for its construction and development.

The building is a six-story building. It has a gym, a library, a créche and classrooms. There are many lessons/ courses that take place within the classrooms. All of them are taught by fully qualified teachers. The building can hold over four thousand worshippers.
