The Fazl Mosque (also colloquially called the 'London Mosque') in London was inaugurated on October 23 1926. It was one of the earliest mosques in Britain. The majority of the money was contributed by Ahmadi women in India, who gave their jewellery and belongings to built the first purpose-built mosque in London.

The "Fazl Mosque" is located in Southfields, London near King George's Park and Southfields train station. The foundation stone was laid by Mirza Basheer-ud-Din Mahmood Ahmad in 1924.

The mosque is the residence of the Khalifatul Masih since April 1984. Also this mosque was the main venue for the Friday Sermon for many years until the completion of the Baitul Futuh mosque in 2003.
