Liverpool Muslim Institute

About the Site

The Liverpool Muslim Institute was founded by Abdullah Quilliam in 1887 and is recorded as the first mosque in Britain. Travellers interested in British social history visit to explore the origins of the Islamic community in the Victorian era and see the restored historic building.

Getting There

Located east of central Liverpool, the site is accessible on foot or by public transit. Walking from Liverpool Lime Street Station takes approximately 20 minutes, while local bus routes connect the city centre to the neighbourhood in around 10 to 15 minutes.

Time to Allow

Most visitors need roughly 45 to 60 minutes to view the architecture, explore the heritage exhibits, and learn about the building's historical background.

When to Visit

Weekday mornings or mid-afternoons generally offer a quiet environment. As it remains an active place of worship, Friday midday prayers bring higher crowds and may limit access for casual sightseeing.
