Gurdwara Sri Guru Singh Sabha, Sikh temple in Southall, England
Gurdwara Sri Guru Singh Sabha is a Sikh temple in Southall featuring white marble exterior walls and multiple prayer halls located on Havelock Road. The structure accommodates up to 3,000 visitors and includes an affiliated primary school nearby.
Construction of the temple began in March 2000 and was completed in March 2003, with the 17.5 million pound cost funded entirely through donations from the local Sikh community. This was a major community effort that took three years to realize.
The gurdwara serves as a central gathering place for the Sikh community in the area, with its design reflecting their religious traditions. Visitors can witness daily prayers and participate in free community meals, which form an essential part of congregational life here.
The grounds are well accessible with multiple entrances for visitors of varying mobility needs. It is helpful to check prayer times before your visit and wear appropriate clothing, as this is an active place of worship.
The opening ceremony in March 2003 was attended by Prince Charles, now King Charles III. This was a significant moment that highlighted the importance of the place to the wider region.
