Central Gurdwara Anderston












 Designed by Calford Seaden Architects the Central Gurdwara will play host to up to 1,500 worshippers, with three floors of underground parking offering space for 257 vehicles, which will be made publicly available when not in use.

The magnificent Sikh temple in Berkeley Street, Anderston has been five years in the building at a cost of £9 million.

The distinctive stone used in the building is limestone which came from India as did most of the materials.

The building has to be the most interesting addition to the Glasgow skyline for many a year.
