The Sri Murugan Temple @ Manor Park

Everyone in London seems to have heard of the huge Shree Sanatan Hindu Mandir temple over in Wembley, but no-one discusses its immediate predecessor - the slightly smaller Sri Murugan Temple built in 2005, which sits in rather an incongruous spot on the quiet Church Street in Manor Park.

It took five years to complete and is constructed from granite and marble cut and carved in India which was then shipped over for assembly on-site. It has a glorious main tower covered with statues of gods and godesses which have been executed in the most intricate detail - it's breath-taking I'm sure you'll agree!
