What was once London’s most famous FEC - and a traditional site for many a new machine’s initial testing - is to become a mosque.
Part of the Trocadero entertainment complex in the West End, only yards from Piccadilly Circus, will house a three-storey Islamic centre, reports the Daily Mail.
Its owner is property billionaire Asif Aziz, CEO of Criterion Capital. He has permission from Westminster City Council to build the new centre in the space that was occupied by a cinema up to 2006 and partially in a section of the building that housed a Segaworld amusement centre.
It is expected that the new mosque will be able to accommodate nearly 400 worshippers.
