After Mr Mohamed landed at 1300 GMT and walked to the terminal building surrounded by officials, he was questioned by UK officials and released more than four hours later. Mr Mohamed arrived at lunchtime after a nine hour flight from the US-owned detention camp in Cuba.
At a press conference following the questioning, Clive Stafford Smith, director of legal charity Reprieve which represented Mr Mohamed, said: "He's not angry, he's sad, he's lost seven years of his life. He was questioned for nearly five hours, before being driven off to an unknown destination.
"I think he's just very grateful to Britain for having him back." The Home Office said he would be given temporary admission until a decision is made on whether he can stay permanently in the UK.
'Horrific nightmare'
Col Yvonne Bradley, the US military lawyer who has worked for Mr Mahomed's release, told a press conference he had lost a lot of weight and would need time to recover from his prison ordeal.
Clive Stafford-Smith, director of legal charity Reprieve which represented Mr Mohamed, said his client was now looking forward to recovering in peace and to spending time with his sister, who he had not seen for seven years.
Mr Stafford-Smith said: "He's not angry, he's sad, he's lost seven years of his life... I think he's just very grateful to Britain for having him back."
But Mr Stafford-Smith also said Britain was in part culpable for abuse suffered by Mr Mohamed.
He said: "Britain knew he was being abused and left him there and he ended up going to Morocco for two years of the most horrific nightmare imaginable.
"The least we owe to him is to give him his home back because he lost his home due to that process."
Although Mr Mohamed was held in Guantanamo for four years, he was arrested Pakistan in 2002 and has been in captivity away from the UK for seven years.Although Mr Mohamed was held in Guantanamo for four years, he was arrested Pakistan in 2002 and has been in captivity away from the UK for seven years.
