Our guide

There are almost no kosher restaurants in tourist central London. Nearly all of them are in Golders Green and Hendon in the north-west, about 8.5 km from Charing Cross on the Northern Line. It's worth planning around that: either stay up there and travel into town during the day, or take food with you for a day of sightseeing.

Our recommendations

  • Base yourself in the North West London neighborhood of Golders Green - the heart of London's vibrant Orthodox community.
  • Check availability of Shabbat and holiday meals at the kosher restaurants or the local Chabad house at least a few days in advance.

Stay in the kosher area of London

If Shabbat matters, sleep in Golders Green or Hendon, not Covent Garden. From there you walk to shuls, bakeries and restaurants.
