The New West End Synagogue in St. Petersburgh Place, Bayswater, is one of the oldest and undoubtedly the most beautiful synagogue buildings in London and, indeed in the country. It is only the second synagogue to achieve Grade 1 listed status and had been described by English Heritage as “the architectural high watermark of Anglo-Jewish architecture”. Visitors are most welcome to view the magnificence of our building and they are assured of a warm welcome to all our services and events.

The synagogue , which is a constituent of the United Synagogue (Orthodox), serves the Jewish communities of Bayswater, Notting Hill, Kensington, Hammersmith and West London.

The synagogue provides a full range of communal activities for all ages and tastes. These include regular children’s services for the under 5s and over 5s; Hebrew classes, a Young Professionals Group; regular adult education seminars and lectures; a keep fit group for ladies; an active social committee; a Guild, which organises a range of lectures, outings and charitable activities; an Israel Group which arranges lectures and briefings on the Middle East by experts from all sides of the political spectrum; a Carers’ Group, which ensures that the elderly and infirm members receive regular contact; and a Friendship Club which meets monthly for more senior members.
