New London Synagogue

The New London Synagogue sits on Abbey Road with traditional architectural details and carefully worked stonework across its front. Inside, it serves as an active place of worship for around 600 members, with spaces for gatherings and religious ceremonies.

The building was founded in 1957 when Rabbi Reinhart led a group of roughly 80 members to start a new congregation. Early services took place in temporary locations before settling at this permanent site on Abbey Road.

The congregation gathers regularly for worship and community events that reflect Jewish religious life in London today. Visitors sense the spiritual role this building plays in the lives of its members.

The building is a protected monument that can be admired from outside, and visits inside may be arranged through the congregation. Be aware that certain dress codes may apply if attending religious ceremonies.

The top floor holds the Czech Memorial Scrolls Museum, which preserves Torah scrolls from communities persecuted during the Holocaust in Bohemia, Moravia, and Slovakia. This museum keeps the memory of these lost communities alive for visitors.
