Sixteenth century England was the first time Muslims began openly living in England occupying jobs such as diplomats,merchants,translators,musicians,servants and prostitutes. Muslims began arriving in London due to Queen Elizabeth's isolation from Catholic Europe this meant she could create political and commercial alliances with Islamic states. English people had limited understanding in regards to the culture of Muslims and couldn't accept Islam as a religious belief. Some Muslims chose to convert to Christianity. The Queens alliances with different empires brought more elite Muslims to London.
