The London Central Mosque (also known as the Islamic Cultural Centre, ICC or Regent's Park Mosque) is a mosque in London, England.
It was designed by Sir Frederick Gibberd, completed in 1978, and has a prominent golden dome. The main hall can hold over five thousand worshippers, with women praying on a balcony overlooking the hall. The mosque holds a chandelier and a vast carpet, with very little furniture.
The inside of the dome is decorated with broken shapes in the Islamic tradition. There is also a small book shop and halal café on the premises. The Mosque is joined to the Islamic cultural centre which was officially opened by King George VI in 1944.
The land was donated by King George VI to the Muslim community of Britain in return for the donation of land in Cairo by King Farouk of Egypt and Sudan on which to build an Anglican cathedral.

La mosquée Koutoubia, ou mosquée des libraires, fut débutée sous la dynastie berbère des Almoravides en 1120, mais fut profondément remaniée à partir de 1162 sous l'émir Almohade Abu Yusuf Yaqub al-Mansur, et devint l'un des édifices les plus caractéristiques de ce style. Son nom vient du fait qu'elle se situait dans le souk des marchands de manuscrits.
La mosquée des libraires s'organise sur un plan en T. Cette tradition existe depuis la construction de la mosquée de Kairouan au ixe siècle, et se retrouve également en Espagne. Il s'agit en fait d'un plan arabe hypostyle, c’est-à-dire comportant une grande cour entourée d'un portique et une salle de prière à colonnes. Les nefs sont perpendiculaires au mur de qibla, celle du centre étant plus large ; et la travée qui longe le mur qibli est également magnifiée, ce qui forme un T, d'où le nom. Le mihrab est traité comme une niche très profonde, et le minaret, haut de 69 m, est de section carrée, selon la tradition de l'occident musulman.
Ses 17 nefs, soutenues par de nombreux piliers blancs, abritent l'une des plus vastes salles de prière de l'Occident musulman (90 x 60 m) pouvant accueillir jusqu'à vingt mille fidèles. Le bâtiment a été restauré dans l'esprit du monument original en 1990, sous l'autorité du ministère de la Culture marocain.
