About RMC
Serving the Muslim community of Rotherhithe, Surrey Quays, Canada Water and Bermondsey since 2016.
Our story
RMC began in Ramadan 2016 with a simple aspiration: to establish a place of prayer for the Muslim community of Rotherhithe, Surrey Quays, Canada Water and Bermondsey.
That Ramadan, two of our founders began exploring how this vision could become a reality. Taraweeh prayers started in one founder’s garage, with just five people gathering to worship. As the congregation steadily grew, it soon became clear that a larger space was needed.
Over the following years, RMC continued to find ways for the community to pray together, including Ramadan prayers at the Docklands Hilton Hotel and later at Dockland Settlements.
The COVID-19 pandemic brought a temporary pause to communal prayers, but RMC later returned to Dockland Settlements, which has since become the home of our regular Friday prayers and Taraweeh during Ramadan.
Nearly ten years after those first prayers, RMC is now preparing for its next chapter: working towards establishing a permanent masjid and community home in the local area.
What began with five worshippers has grown into a shared community journey. With Allah’s help and the support of the community, our aim is to create a lasting place of prayer, connection and service for generations to come.
