INTRODUCTION
Islam has grown at a rapid rate, becoming the secondlargest religion in the UK, with estimates of almost 3 million Muslims, which accounts for 4.4% of the total population of the country according to the 2011 Census records. The multiple waves of Muslim mass migration and the early sailor recruits of the East India Company multiplied the population of Indian subcontinent Muslims in Britain exponentially. As the number of Muslims in Britain continues to grow, it is critical to understand the sacral architectural needs surrounding places of worship and how different cultural styles have united and merged under the homogenous global umbrella of religion.
