Dawoodi Bohra Masjid, London — UK Bohra Community

London is home to one of the largest and most established Dawoodi Bohra communities in Europe. The UK Bohra community settled primarily in London from the 1960s and 1970s, when Bohra families from East Africa (particularly Kenya and Tanzania) and directly from Gujarat emigrated to Britain as part of the Indian Ocean diaspora. The community established a beautiful masjid in the Hurlingham area of south-west London — a landmark of Bohra religious life in the United Kingdom. The London Bohra Masjid hosts daily prayers, Ashara Mubaraka majalis, milad celebrations, and serves as the hub for the UK-wide Bohra community which stretches from London to the Midlands and beyond. The Aamil appointed by the Dawat maintains the religious calendar and community guidance for mumineen across the UK. Many British Bohras maintain strong ties to their ancestral homes in Gujarat and their intermediate communities in East Africa, embodying the remarkable multi-generational journey that brought them from the Indian Ocean to the United Kingdom while preserving their faith, language, and identity.
