Christmas Day In Alperton and Hindu Temple The Shri Sanatan Hindu Mandir



On Christmas day nothing when no trains buses underground run in London my friend Laurie who I was staying with over Christmas planned a walk along the Grand Union Canal. 

 Hindu Temple The Shri Sanatan Hindu Mandir








When I would walk to the underground at Alperton near Wembley where she was pet sitting I would pass the the  Hindu Temple The Shri Sanatan Hindu Mandir *All-inclusive Hindu Temple this morning we stopped to take some photos we were invited inside to by a kind old Man who told us the history behind the temple and also gave us beautiful guidebook.  No photos were allowed inside which was too bad as it  some however I did find this slide show on You Tube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98Zy_CoF4TY. The temple was opened on May 2010.

*The temple is a place of worship for all Hindus and welcomes those of other faiths. It is a landmark with outstanding architectural splendour. This spectacular free London attraction welcomes visitors of all faiths and none, although certain Hindu customs – such as the removal of shoes upon entry – are expected to be adhered to during your visit*


Afterwards we walked along the canal it was a beautiful sunny day and I loved the walk I have walked other parts of the Canal over the years this was a pretty spot at times  seeing the swansWe later went back to the house and had a lovely Christmas dinner mine was Lamb and did Christmas Crackers to boot.


Beautiful swans in love
