London's Swaminarayan temple - an example of a different kind

The Swaminarayan Temple in London is a breathtaking sight - its architecture and sheer beauty is profoundly moving. It stands out, oasis-like, amongst the highways, roads, houses and the regular hustle and bustle of a big city. If you are visiting the UK, a trip to the temple is a must.
But the purpose of this article is not to tell you how beautiful the temple is, nor discuss spirituality. I'm talking about something more mundane here, but something that, as an Indian, seems like a wonder nevertheless. The temple is a marvel of another kind. It has something that most Indian tourist attractions (in India at least) don't: great facilities - and admission is free.
For starters, there are very clear and well laid out directions. Everything is neatly signposted and there is absolutely no chaos whatsoever. There are shoe racks where you can leave your shoes and another area where cameras and small bags can be deposited. Security guards are present but look approachable as opposed to threatening.
