Spanish and Portuguese Synagogue, Orthodox synagogue in Maida Vale, London, England.
The Spanish and Portuguese Synagogue features Byzantine Revival architecture with a large domed ceiling, stained glass windows, and detailed interior craftsmanship.
The congregation began in 1657 after Oliver Cromwell's permission for Jewish worship, with the current Grade II listed building completed in 1896 in Lauderdale Road.
The synagogue represents a central location for Sephardic Jewish traditions in London, serving families from Spanish, Portuguese, and Middle Eastern backgrounds.
Regular religious services take place in the synagogue, which maintains traditional gender-separated seating arrangements according to Orthodox Jewish customs.
The building houses historical artifacts and documents dating back to the Victorian era, including records from prominent Anglo-Jewish families like Sassoon and Montefiore.
