The location is close to Excel in Silver Town. The remarkable 100,000m2 of adaptable event space at London ExCeL, which costs £500 million, includes the International Convention Centre of London (ICC London ExCeL). In West Silvertown, near the newly constructed Britannia village in Newham, London, England, on the south side of the Royal Victoria Dock, between the Thames Barrier and the ExCeL London exhibition centre, stands the abandoned Millennium Mills, a former flour mill from the turn of the 20th century. As part of the £3.5 billion Silvertown project, The Mills is now getting a significant refurbishment.

In 1933, Millennium Mills was completely rebuilt as a 10-story concrete art deco structure.

During the Second World War, bombing severely damaged several port mills around the nation since about 75% of the nation's capacity was concentrated there, making ports prime targets for aerial strikes. Both Rank's Premier Mills and Spillers' Millennium Mills in London suffered significant damage.

Islamic architecture refers to the building designs linked with Islam. From the beginning of Islam's history until the present, it includes both secular and religious forms. From western Africa and Europe to eastern Asia, the Islamic civilization traditionally covered a large geographic region. All of these regions' Islamic architectural styles have some things in common, but over time, each region developed its own architectural style based on the local resources and methods, local dynasties and patrons, various regional centres of artistic production, and occasionally different religious affiliations.

Roman, Byzantine, Iranian, and Mesopotamian architecture, as well as all other cultures whose territories the Early Muslim conquests captured in the seventh and eighth centuries, had an effect on early Islamic architecture.
