The Baitul Futuh Mosque is the largest Ahmadiyya mosque in Western Europe, occupying a 5.2-acre site in Morden. It serves as the national headquarters for the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in the United Kingdom. The complex features a distinct large dome and minaret, completed in 2003 with a capacity to accommodate thousands of worshippers. It includes multipurpose halls, administrative offices, and educational facilities designed for community outreach.
