About Us

Serving the Muslim community of Croydon and beyond

The Croydon Mosque & Islamic Centre (CMIC) emerged in the early 1970s, beginning in a small ground-floor hall in West Croydon before evolving over two decades into its present structure. The facility now comprises seven large halls with capacity for 3,500 people, expandable to 4,000.

The centre welcomes approximately 9,000 weekly visitors under normal circumstances, surging to 30,000 during Ramadan. It serves a diverse Muslim population of roughly 20,000 across the London Borough of Croydon, including communities from Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, East Africa, Somalia, Turkey, Afghanistan, the Middle East, and Bosnia.
