What your day looks like
Explore the rich and diverse history of London's Jewish community on this immersive walking tour, guided by an expert in Jewish history. Beginning in 1066 with William the Conqueror's invitation to Jewish merchants and artisans, the tour traces the community’s evolution from medieval times to the present day. Discover the stories of resilience and prosperity as you visit significant sites such as Bevis Marks, Sandy Row Synagogue, and the Kinder Transport Memorial, each narrating a unique chapter in Jewish history. Starting on Jewry Street, learn about the early Jewish settlers and their impact on London. Visit the historic Bevis Marks Synagogue, the first purpose-built Sephardi Synagogue, and explore Gravel Lane, where Ashkenazi Jews established a thriving community in the 18th century. Discuss the significance of the Petticoat Lane Market and the role of the Jewish Welfare Board. The tour concludes at the Kinder Transport Memorial, commemorating the 10,000 Jewish children who found refuge in Britain during WWII.

Most interesting and informative tour. Only disappointment was that the synagogues were closed and unavailable to tour inside.
