The Singh Sabha Movement was a revivalist Sikh Organisation in the late nineteenth century challenging the serious decline in the Sikh practices the true Sikh tradition as laid by the Gurus. Established in Amritsar, its first meeting was held in front of the Akal Takhat on 1st October 1873. Its principal aims are: To propagate the true Sikh religion and restore it’s pristine glory. To edit, publish and circulate historical and religious books. To propagate Gurmukhi as the medium through writings in books, magazines and newspapers. To encourage reform in those who had drifted away and help them return to the Sikh Panth . The Singh Sabha’s policy is to avoid criticism of other religions but challenge the erroneous beliefs of the followers of the different faiths about Sikhism. The movement spread out of India into other parts of the planet where Sikhs resided and today is a recognised body world over. 

Singh Sabha Southall was established in the same tradition, but much later in England by Sikhs who had emigrated in the fifties and early sixties. By the 1950's, a significant number of Sikhs were living in Britain, and the main congregational gathering was at Shepherd's Bush Gurdwara. To accommodate the Southall Sikhs, the Southall Sikh Cultural Society was established in 1960.

This organisation held Sunday programmes at Shackleton Hall until it moved to 11 Beaconsfield Road. The emigration of Malaysian and Singaporean Sikhs led to the formation of another group - Sri Guru Nanak Singh Sabha. The two groups remained independent until (1964) when they merged as Sri Guru Singh Sabha Southall. 1964 also saw the first Gurdwara. It was situated at the Green, and was the headquarters of the Sri Guru Singh Sabha.

Havelock Road site was purchased in 1967. As a result of the relentless sewa by the sangat, the dairy was transformed into the Gurdwara in a matter of weeks. The Khanda was brought in April 1967 to England from the Tosha Khana at Darbar Sahib Amritsar for Amrit Sanchar. From those humble beginnings Sri Guru Singh Sabha Southall emerged as the leading Gurdwara outside India. Sunday 29th November 1997 saw Sri Guru Singh Sabha Southall move to the Park Avenue site (originally purchased in 1984). The move was necessary to allow for the new building at Havelock Road.

The new Havelock Road Gurdwara was opened in March 2003.
