Westminster Synagogue, Jewish synagogue in Knightsbridge, London.
Westminster Synagogue occupies Kent House, a restored Victorian townhouse near Hyde Park with a dedicated prayer hall and community spaces for gatherings. The building functions as both a religious and social centre for the congregation.
The congregation was established in 1957 when Rabbi Harold Reinhart and approximately 80 members separated from West London Synagogue to form a new community. This creation reflected growing demand for additional religious institutions serving the city's Jewish population.
The congregation serves as a gathering place for the local Jewish community, hosting celebrations and commemorations that mark important moments in the life cycle. Visitors can observe how the space brings people together for shared traditions and observances.
The building is easily accessible on foot from the Knightsbridge area and sits close to major London transport links. Visitors should check ahead as access and times may vary depending on services and community events taking place.
The building houses the Czech Memorial Scrolls Centre, which cares for Torah scrolls rescued from Bohemian and Moravian communities during World War II. This collection serves as a powerful record of survival and stands as a memorial to lost communities.
