Sacred Place Overview
Identity, documented context and sacred significance.
One of Britain’s largest and most prominent Sikh gurdwaras, serving Southall and pilgrims and visitors from beyond London. The site is in Southall, London, Greater London, England. The organisation dates to 1958 and opened its first gurdwara in 1964.
The present large gurdwara on Havelock Road, now Guru Nanak Road, was inaugurated in 2003. Sri Guru Singh Sabha Southall grew from the Sikh community established in Southall after the Second World War. The organisation’s own history records a merger of local Sikh groups and the opening of its first gurdwara in 1964.
The present large Guru Nanak Road building was inaugurated on 30 March 2003. It supports daily worship centred on the Guru Granth Sahib, major gurpurbs, education and langar, the Sikh practice of serving free vegetarian food to all without distinction. It remains an active place of worship, so services and religious observance are part of the visitor experience rather than background history. Access can change for worship, ceremonies or conservation, and the institution’s current guidance should be checked before a visit.
