Neasden Temple - just off the North Circular Road in Neasden is truly one of the best places in London. We have to admit that it is awkward to reach it by public transport, but if you have a car or a minicab service is not expensive - please go there. You can go by tube to Neasden or Stonebridge park tube stations but from there it is a fair walk. It is worth the effort though because you will be mesmerised by this exotic building.
Just looking at the outside facade of the temple is enough to leave you speechless. Visiting this place men and women have to dress decently, i.e. No short skirts, shorts, see through garments etc. Admission is free.
The whole process of building this temple is astonishing; five thousands of tons of limestone and marble from different parts of Europe was shipped out to India, carved there and brought back to London. This is truly a place that you have to visit. Open from: daily 9am-6:30pm; free.

Please note that morning slots are recommended because the Aarti (service) takes place at 11:45am. Also, afternoon visitors will need to wait until 4.00pm (on weekdays) and 3.30pm (on weekends) to view the sacred deities because the shrines are closed between 12.15pm and 4.00pm (on weekdays) and between 12.15pm and 3.30pm (on weekends).
