Radha Krishna Temple, Hindu temple in Bloomsbury, London, England
The Radha Krishna Temple is a Hindu sanctuary in Bloomsbury designed with traditional Indian architectural features and religious objects throughout the space. The building complex houses areas for worship, meditation spaces, and rooms for community gatherings.
The site was founded in 1969 when six devotees from San Francisco came to London to establish a community of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness. It grew rapidly into a major center for Hindu practice in Britain.
The temple serves as a gathering place where daily worship and prayer bring together people from the local community and beyond. The interior is filled with colorful depictions of deities, showing how Hindu faith is actively practiced and expressed here.
Visitors can explore the spaces during the day and join in prayer sessions, as the doors are regularly open for worship. It is helpful to check opening times beforehand and wear appropriate clothing for a religious place.
In its early years, temple members produced music that introduced Western audiences to Indian mantras and created a new way for religious music to reach through pop channels. These recordings show how the community adapted traditional Hindu practices to their new Western setting.
