History

In 1973, a group of Iranian students in London founded a society to discuss religious and political topics. They were acting against the Shah regime in Iran by spreading the messages of Imam Khomeini in the UK and west of Europe. After the Islamic revolution in Iran in 1978, it joined the Islamic Student Association. From that time up to now, the building of Kanoon Towhid in Hammersmith has hosted weekly cultural, religious, scientific and political events in English and Farsi. During the 1980s, Abdolkarim Soroush was the representative of Mohammad Beheshti in Kanoon Towhid London. On 4 November 2006, president Mohammad Khatami delivered a talk at the centre. In December 2012, a suspicious fire damaged the building . The building reopened in March 2015 following a major refurbishment.
