I only know of the Ramgharia Gurdwara in Woolwich Arsenal , when I was a kid it was the only gurdwara there and all sangat went there , I think the history was the Ramgharias originally set it up but all the people used to go , it was and still is very friendly and sewa minded . Later The Jatts finding objection to the title of the Gurdwara decided to buy out an old Church in Woolwich and make a seperate gurdwara ...to us it seemed mental even though our bazurg were from that section of society. To my family and my mind it seemed insulting to Guru ji to put vandian like that ...they could have just said can we change the name to honour Guru ji instead , but I guess the golak was calling . Recently I went back to both and I must say that sangat lost out on that original closeness it had in the old joint sangat.
