It is a London suburb in the London Borough of Ealing. It is situated west of Charing Cross. The name Southall (Southolt) means “southern wood” and separates it from Northolt.
History
Southall is located on the historic Grand Union Canal -formerly the Grand Junction Canal- which first connected London with the rest of the canal system. The canal opened in 1796. That triggered a commercial boom, intensified by the arrival of the Great Western Railway in 1839.
A large collection of Martinware - salt-glazed stoneware, grotesque faces, and birds - is on display at Southall Library. Also a good collection, however, can be seen at Pitshanger Manor in nearby Ealing and Southall Library. It is the home of one of the earliest British film studios, Southall Film Studios which played a historic role in film-making from its creation in 1924 to its closure in 1959.
Indians and Pakistanis form the majority of Sathall’s population of 70,000 or so. Primarily an Asian residental district, the Somalis also came in large numbers to Southall. One of the Sikh Gurdwaras in Southall won the Ealing Civic Society Architectural Award in 2003. The Sri Guru Sing Sabah Gudwara, which opened in 2003, is the largest Sikh temple outside of India. There are a few Christian churches and there are three mosques. In Southall, the main street is called ‘The Broadway’. Southall contains the largest Asian shopping centre in the London area. Southall was the main location for the film ‘Bend It Like Beckham’. The pub, Glassy Junction, which serves several Indian draught beers, is located in Southall.
