286, Neo-Georgian religious building in Swaythling, Southampton, England

The octagonal auditorium features a copper-clad domed roof, balanced by two stair towers providing access to the north side balcony.

Herbert Collins designed this Methodist church in 1932, incorporating cinema facilities through a partnership with film industry pioneer J Arthur Rank.

The building transformed from a Methodist church to a Gurdwara in 2021, reflecting the changing religious demographics of Southampton's population.

The structure contains multiple halls, a main auditorium, workshops, and a manse, spread across different sections of the Grade II listed property.

The copper-clad cupola sits atop the shallow domed roof, creating a notable architectural element visible in the Swaythling district skyline.
