New West End Synagogue

Grade I listed Victorian synagogue in Bayswater, one of England’s most architecturally important Jewish places of worship. The site is in London, Greater London, England. Built in 1877–1879 to designs associated with George Ashdown Audsley, it is one of only a small number of Grade I listed synagogues in England.

The New West End Synagogue was built in 1877–1879 during the expansion of Jewish settlement in west London. George Ashdown Audsley was closely associated with the design, which combines Victorian eclecticism with Moorish-influenced ornament. Historic England lists the building at Grade I, placing it among the most highly protected synagogues in England.

It remains an active Jewish place of worship, so its importance is both architectural and religious rather than purely museum or heritage interest. Its recognised heritage context is: Grade I listed. Architecturally, the site is associated with Victorian eclectic / Moorish-influenced synagogue.

The site continues to function religiously as well as historically. Visitors should expect worship and community use to take priority over sightseeing, and should consult the official website for current opening arrangements, service times and any access restrictions.
