As voters across the UK look to cast their ballots today, there is one key question on everyone’s minds – where can I go to vote?

For many the answer will simply be at the nearest village hall, church or even nursery. 

But for others, their local set up might be slightly different as they find themselves queueing up in some rather unusual locations. 

From a caravan in Cambridgeshire, to a shipping container in Battersea and even a Hindu temple in Wimbledon, there are a number of surprising places that have been made into makeshift polling stations this week.

Here MailOnline shows you a glimpse of some of the most unusual, and who knows, maybe yours is on the list!
