Our History

Siri Guru Singh Sabha, Hounslow, is a cornerstone of the Sikh community in London, deeply rooted in history and tradition. What began as two scout huts on Hibernia Road has grown into a vital spiritual and community center, thanks to the support and generosity of the local Sikh community. Through donations and community contributions, we expanded the Gurdwara, culminating in the opening of the Main Gurdwara building in November 1992.

With the increasing demand for community services, our estate further expanded to include the New Complex, which was inaugura ted by the late HM Queen Elizabeth in October 2004. Today, our Gurdwara offers over a hundred free services to the public. The Main Building includes administrative offices, a large dining hall that provides over 5,000 free meals weekly, and the Darbar Hall, which welcomes everyone to pray. The New Complex houses a Community Centre, Education Centre, Library, and Exhibition Hall, further enhancing our ability to serve the community.

The Sikh Faith

Our mission is grounded in the core teachings of Sikhism, as passed down by the Sikh Gurus through the three foundational "Pillars of Faith". The Gurdwara serves as both, a place of worship and a community hub, following these principles:

* Naam Japna: All of Gods names are virtues, by adopting these is to become one with Him. 

   (ਜਿੰਨੇ ਰੱਬ ਦੇ ਨਾਮ ਹਨ, ਸਾਰੇ ਉਸ ਦੇ ਗੁਣ ਹਨ। ਉਹਨਾਂ ਗੁਣਾਂ ਵਰਗੇ ਜਾਪਣ ਲੱਗ ਜਾਣਾ, ਨਾਮ ਜਪਣਾ ਹੈ। ਮਤਲਬ ਰੱਬੀ ਗੁਣਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਧਾਰਨ ਕਰਨਾ।)

* Kirat Karni: Earning an honest living while upholding integrity and self-sufficiency.

* Vand Chakna: Sharing with others, especially those in need, as a form of selfless service.
