Central Synagogue (Great Portland Street)

The Central Synagogue is an Orthodox Jewish congregation and synagogue, located at 133-141 Great Portland Street, with additional frontage to Hallam Street, in the City of Westminster, London, England, in the United Kingdom.

[1] The congregation worships in the Ashkenazi rite and is a founding member of United Synagogue.

A much grander building was completed in 1870, located at 133-141 Great Portland Street and this building served until World War II when, during the London Blitz on 10 May 1941, this synagogue was destroyed.

[2][3] Once the bombed site was cleared, a temporary synagogue was built in the basement, in use from 1948 until 1956.
