BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir, London – popularly known as ‘Neasden Temple’ – has once again been honoured with the prestigious Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Award. 

Tripadvisor, the world’s largest travel guidance platform, hosts more than 1 billion reviews and opinions covering millions of attractions, restaurants, and places of interest. Each month, more than 450 million travellers turn to Tripadvisor to help plan their journeys.

The Travellers’ Choice Award for 2026 places the Mandir amongst the top 10% ‘things to do’ in the world from more than 8.7 million attractions, experiences, hotels, restaurants, and other places covered on its listing. 

The winners of the award are determined by the quality and consistency of reviews and ratings shared by visitors over the past 12 months. As explained by Tripadvisor, the award means that the Mandir has received “consistently great reviews” and is among places that “consistently demonstrate a commitment to hospitality excellence.”

This latest accolade is, in fact, the ninth award from Tripadvisor in recent years, again reflecting the consistent quality of service provided to visitors by the volunteers.

Sonal Patel, a volunteer guide at the Mandir, shared, “We are deeply humbled to know that visitors from around the world have enjoyed their time at the Mandir and taken the time to share their positive experiences with others. We’re always striving to improve our services, so we will continue to see how more and more people can enjoy and learn about the spiritual significance behind the architectural beauty of the Mandir. It’s really an extension of what we all feel every time we come to Mandir, too – the devotion, selfless service, and divine energy that are alive here evoke the sense of peace and tranquillity that so many visitors cite in their reviews.”

Amish Raghwani, another volunteer who regularly greets and guides visitors at the Mandir, added, “On behalf of all the tireless volunteers who give their time to look after the Mandir and our guests, this award is a reflection of the values Mahant Swami Maharaj has inspired in us all – to welcome guests of all faiths and backgrounds with respect, humility, and genuine care. We hope that everyone who visits leaves with a greater appreciation of our shared values of peace, harmony, and service.”
