St. Paul's Cathedral isn't the only gargantuan place of worship in London. Perhaps surprisingly, the unassuming north London suburb of Neasden is home to a gigantic Hindu temple, known as BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir, which is the largest Hindu temple outside of India. The building was finished in 1993, was created using traditional methods and cost £12million to build.
