Fieldgate Street Great Synagogue, Orthodox synagogue in Whitechapel, England.
The rectangular building featured marbled columns, traditional pews, and high-level round windows adorned with stained glass across its three-sided gallery layout.
Established in 1899, the synagogue emerged from merging three smaller congregations under the Federation of Synagogues, with Samuel Montagu serving as honorary president.
The interior design followed Ashkenazi traditions, providing separate worship spaces for 280 men on the ground floor and 240 women in the gallery.
The synagogue maintained regular services until 2009, after which it held monthly Shabbat gatherings before its transformation into a Zakat Centre in 2015.
The building represents the final active synagogue in Whitechapel, marking a transition in East London's religious landscape through its conversion into a mosque.
