It's a beautiful temple and well maintained. The volunteers are very friendly and supporting. Starting from the baggage counter,at gate, security volunteers, the in-house volunteers, all are very humble and cherry on the cake was meeting devotees Nitesh and Rashmika Patel. They interacted with our kids to educate them about Hindu traditions and learn virtues. Must visit for all for peace of mind and get the blessings🙏🙏

Nasdeen Temple is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking for understanding of Hindu culture and spirituality.Its beauty, serenity, and sense of community make it a truly special place to explore with my family. Many thanks to Nitesh and Rashmika Patel who shared some inspiring words of wisdom with us. We were also pleasantly surprised that the limestone used in the construction of Nasdeen Temple in London was sourced from our home country, Bulgaria.

Stunning temple and equally impressive inside. We were met at the entrance by a lovely lady called Nitesh Patel who wonderfully explained to my 9 year old the beauty of capturing memories in your brain and also gave us the history of the creation on the temple. Note the deities have a siesta time so try to go when these are awake, we went late in the day and therefore waited until 4pm. There's also a vegetarian cafe and restaurant across the road

The site itself is beautiful beyond words. I was in a state of constant awe. It’s also gives a feeling of sacredness and inner stillness which and energy is very welcoming. I was guided by the tour guy who volunteers there and it took my experience on a whole new level. Recommend 10/10

This place is crazy you can’t believe it is in London! BAPS volunteers Nitesh & Nashmika Patel are amazing at giving us directions on what to see and look before entering this majestic temple :) It made us appreciate the importance of this historic site! Free bag deposit available, and no pictures allowed inside the temple. Very tourist friendly even though it is a working place of prayer with lots of people all the time.

What a privilege to visit such an impressive temple. Easy walk from Neasden underground on jubilee line, ( follow the signs ) about 15 mins. Welcomed by the men on the gate who informed us my rucksack would need checking in (free) prior to entering. Our visit coincided with a blessing service which we were able to attend, it was a humbling experience to learn so much about the Hindu religion from the exhibition ( £2) . All the volunteers were extremely welcoming and we left feeling enlightened by our visit . Thank you .

Where does anyone start trying to describe such a beautiful exhibit? Well, I shall try. The description states that this is the largest Hindu temple outside of India. Well, on first impression, it does look large, to say the least. However, it's not till you are inside that you realise how large it actually is. It is actually classed as one of the Seven Man Made Marvels of London. The "welcome" film describes how the idea of 1971 became a reality some twenty years later and how each section was created by superior craftsmen in India - part by part. Each part was then numbered and carefully packaged before being transported to London. Then, the world's biggest jigsaw was put together over a period of two years. The colours and incredible exhibits inside the temple are both splendid and incredible. To put into reality what I've tried to describe, please book up a visit, as it will certainly open your eyes and your mind.

This Hindu, known temple, known as The Neasden Temple,is an active place of worship for the Hindu community in London. It is a useful tool to promote and understand the Hindu culture and religion. Everybody is welcome here so we all can admire its architecture and art. ,I visit it almost every time I come to London, as it is a must for me. The people there are really kind and always willing to answer your questions. It is not difficult to get by using the red buses.

Visiting this mandir was so, so worth it! If you're still hesitating whether you should go, the answer is: yes, absolutely. Not only because of the beautiful architecture but also because of the immersive dive into hinduism and indian culture that the people here kindly share with you. If you're coming from central London by public transport, I suggest taking bus 206 from Wembley Park, which stops near the side of the temple, so walking to the front gates barely takes any time. If you have any bags bigger than your palm, you need to drop it across from the gates at the bag drop in the car park. (At the other end of the car park, there is an indian restaurant and a supermarket that you can visit too.) After entering through the gate, you will go through a security check, then you can head in. Coats can go inside as there are hangers in the little rooms where you store your shoes (women on the right, men on the left). Inside, you cannot take any photos, which is a shame, but it makes you take in everything so much more. There's the hindu exhibition (2 GBP, or free with London Pass) where you can scan a QR code for a guide book; and across from that a chamber where you can witness the abhishek ceremony (if you come at the right time, otherwise it's closed.) Near that, there is a staircase and a lift to go upstairs to the inner sanctum, where you can see sacred sculptures and images. Pro tip: if the grand prayer hall is closed, ask the staff if you can perhaps see it; the gentleman who I turned to with my request didn't even blink or protested and kindly let me enter a few steps and offered wonderful commentary about the place that added to my visit. Thanks for the tip to Nitesh who I met near the gates and had a wonderful chat with about the temple and its details, and who urged me to go inside once more to not miss the ceremonies and all. :) His warmth, kindness and knowledge about the temple, hinduism, and the way he talked about their community elevated my experience on this afternoon. All in all, this temple was just jaw-droppingly beautiful, and left me with a warm and peaceful feeling after a morning busy with sightseeing and touring the usual attractions around London.

The Neasden Temple, or more properly the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir, is apparently the first, traditional all stone temple [Mandir]in Europe. It certainly is impressive, even if it stands in a rather ordinary outer suburb of London, near Wembley. At the time of building at the end of the last century, it was the largest Hindu Mandir outside of India. Made of Indian and Italian marble, Bulgarian limestone, Burmese teak and English oak, the materials are of the finest, the carvings exquisitely carved in India, imported and assembled here. The adjoining Haveli is a cornucopia of geometric, wood patterns, a little reminiscent of Moorish art. The volunteers that manage the complex are friendly, welcoming and anxious to explain the building and their faith, which is rather bewildering with its somewhat garishly decorated Murti icons, ritually infused with the spirit of the divine. Vaut la visite? Well, that rather depends on your spiritual inclinations, but architecturally, it is pretty stunning.
