Brent London: what's on and things to do

Brent is Wembley and everything around it, which means the borough gets judged on ninety thousand people arriving for a match and leaving again. The rest of it is quieter and more interesting: the Hindu temple at Neasden, which is open to visitors and free, the Welsh Harp reservoir, and a stretch of the Grand Union Canal most Londoners have never walked. Evenings here are the arena, the temple's own calendar, and not a great deal else, so it is worth checking what is on before setting off.

What to expect

One listing ahead in Brent. The busiest rooms are BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir. Mostly Seasonal.
