Property tycoon Asif Aziz has been granted permission to convert an iconic building in central London into a three-story mosque.

Westminster Council has approved a planning application submitted by a foundation owned by Aziz for the Islamic prayer center inside the Trocadero, a former exhibition and entertainment complex on Coventry Street.

The mosque will have capacity for 390 worshipers, down considerably from the 1,000-capacity initially proposed back in 2020, which was vehemently opposed by local residents.
