Central Synagogue, Great Portland Street, Orthodox Synagogue in City of Westminster, United Kingdom
The Central Synagogue stands at 133-141 Great Portland Street, featuring a prominent modern building constructed in 1958 after wartime destruction.
Founded in 1848 as a branch of the Great Synagogue of London, the congregation adopted its current name in 1869 and joined the United Synagogue in 1870.
The synagogue follows Ashkenazi Orthodox traditions, conducting regular services, educational programs, and maintaining a strong Jewish community in central London.
Members and visitors can access Hebrew classes, religious ceremonies, toddler services, and community events throughout the year at the synagogue premises.
During World War II bombings in 1941, the congregation continued services in a basement structure until the current building opened in 1958.
