The Site Today
Southall is a diverse and vibrant suburb of London, with a significant South Asian community. Our site is located next to the Gurdwara Guru Nanak Darbar, a prominent Sikh place of worship in Southall.
The site is currently located within the King Street Neighbourhood Centre, a bustling commercial district, which will provide excellent visibility and accessibility. It is also located 0.5 miles (an 11-minute walk) from Southall Station which links Southall to Central London via the Elizabeth Line.
The distinctive golden dome of the Gurdwara Guru Nanak Darbar is a defining feature of the area and serves as a prominent local landmark and symbol of Southall’s rich cultural heritage.

Surrounding the Gurdwara are terraced houses and low-rise buildings. The established residential area provides both a stable and supportive environment for the site, with opportunities for community engagement and collaboration with local residents.
We understand that the car park is an important and well-used community space. Following discussions with the Council, the proposals sensitively develop a limited part of the car park’s northern section. While this will remove some spaces, the majority will be retained for public use, with as many as possible kept accessible during construction. The Council will receive financial compensation from the Gurdwara for any lost spaces.
