The site's development needed the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and was ultimately finished in 1995 at a cost of PS12 million (raised wholly by the community). A number of media and organizations have subsequently recognized it as one of the most magnificent and culturally significant structures in the UK. It has been listed as a record breaker for its use of timber, with over 17,000 sq m (180,000 sq ft) of wood being employed in its construction. Neasden Temple is an eclectic mix of styles, but it can be described as Russian Orthodox in inspiration and technique. The main structure is built around a central tower which reaches a height of 72 meters (236 feet). Four smaller towers surround the main one, each about 30 meters high. There are more than 100 windows across the building opening up into light-filled spaces. The interior of the temple is equally impressive with a series of large rooms opening up onto small courtyards. It is here that you will find many of the temple's key features including working chandeliers, mosaics and painted ceilings. Neasden Temple is certainly not just another church for Londoners to go to; rather it is an attraction in itself. With its unique history and design pedigree it is easy to see why so many people are fascinated by this temple within London's city limits.
