King Charles Impressed by Design of Cambridge Central Mosque During Visit
Charles praised the mosque’s green features after touring solar panels, heat pumps and water recycling systems that make it Europe’s first eco-mosque.
- On Monday afternoon, King Charles III stepped from a maroon Bentley to cheers from well-wishers at Cambridge Central Mosque, where he toured Europe's first purpose-built eco-mosque and engaged with community dignitaries.
- The mosque's design emphasizes sustainability through solar panels and highly efficient heat pumps producing more energy than they consume, while grey water recycling and rainwater collection serve toilets and irrigation alongside natural skylights and low-energy LED bulbs.
- Addressing those present, King Charles said: "If I may say so, I'm so impressed by the quality of the design, of all the care and attention which has been lavished on it," praising the mosque's contribution to Cambridge's Muslim community and the city itself.
- King Charles unveiled a plaque marking the 75th anniversary of Cambridge being granted city status by King George VI, calling the visit a "pleasure," then paused to speak with children holding flowers as he walked to his waiting car.
- Later that day, King Charles officially opened Cambridge's new Whittle Laboratory, a centre for net zero aviation and energy innovation, supported by his Sustainable Markets Initiative founded in 2020 to unite leaders across sectors in unlocking sustainable investment.
