The Fazl Place of Worship (also known as the London Fazl Place of Worship) in London was inaugurated on October 23, 1926. It was the first Ahmadiyya place of worship built in Britain and the first purpose built place of worship in London. The majority of the money was contributed by Ahmadi women in India, who gave their jewellery and belongings to build the first purpose-built place of worship in London.

The place of worship is located in Southfields, London near King George's Park and Southfields train station. The foundation stone was laid by Hazrat Mirza Basheer-ud-Din Mahmood Ahmad in 1924.

The place of worship is the residence of the Ahmadiyya sect's Khalifatul Masih since April 1984. The place of worship was the main venue for the Friday Sermon delivered by the Khalifa for many years until the completion of the Baitul Futuh place of worship in 2003.
