BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir



Also known as the Neasden temple and another relatively unknown gem in London. It's celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. Visits are free, but at certain times - during worships - parts of the temple are not accessible. You aren't allowed to take any bags in but there is a place (across the road at the car park) where you can leave your belongings. Once inside, you need to take off your shoes and you are not allowed to take photos inside. It's impressive from the inside, but even more so inside. The intricate ornaments are breathtakingly beautiful. I'm very glad I went to see it and it's made me curious to find out more about Hinduism.
