Muslim Prayer Rooms

We have dedicated Muslim prayer facilities for the use of staff and students, to enable people to fulfil the requirements of their faith. The prayer rooms are open during King's opening hours as well as for Friday prayers.

Please note that the prayer rooms are designated for prayer - all other society related activities must be conducted in rooms booked via KCLSU.

King’s College London Students Union (KCLSU)

KCLSU has several faith-related student societies, including Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Islamic, Jewish, and Sikh. These groups book centrally-timetabled rooms for prayer, worship, and regular activities, and may also book Chaplaincy facilities.
