I'm personally a non follower but I find it is a really lovely place with spirited people who come together as a community. I think it is part of the sikh religion to be accepting and not judge, suits me just fine :) Happy to offer more tips if you decide to go x

Ooh East Dulwich is lovely. Have been renting here for a year and absolutely love it although moving soon as buying our first home in Ealing! (better commute to work and all that) We will miss ED and always think of it fondly! Lucas coffee, scoop.ed ice creams, dulwich park, saturday market, cheese block .... will miss you dearly. :'(

Ko Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > hi. does the sikh gurdwara on shawbury road do > anything to celebrate diwali? thanks Don't know about sikh gurdwara on shawbury road but in general Hindu temples tend to get into Diwali festivities with fireworks, lamps and poojas. There's the Neasden temple and I think there's a big celebration organised in Trafalgar sq by the Mayor of London.

I came across this little Gurudwara but the doors were shut so didn't get to go in. Re Sikhs drinking, I have to agree with purplecatkimi... ha ha We do enjoy a drink and of course tandoori chicken;) although the more devout sikhs will disagree There are some lovely gurudwaras in southall (mini india) if anyone's interested and they are very welcoming to everyone. In fact if you do go, stay for the community lunch (langar) and prashad (dessert like holy offerings similar to semolina pudding).

This is what happened, posted here
