Radhey Krishna Temple
The Radha-Krishna Temple in London has served as the United Kingdom headquarters of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) since the late 1960s. It was established in Bury Place, Bloomsbury, after six devotees from San Francisco's Radha-Krishna Temple were sent by ISKCON leader A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada to found a UK branch in 1968. Wikidata records its inception as 1969. The temple came to wider public attention when George Harrison of the Beatles publicly aligned himself with Krishna consciousness. Among the original six representatives, Mukunda, Shyamsundar and Malati later held senior positions in ISKCON.
