Packed with fascinating and practical information, Jewish London features everything for the visitor to London, from walking tours of historic areas such as the old Jewish East End to listings of kosher restaurants and shops. There is well-researched information on important Jewish Londoners, from Dame Myra Hess to the Rothschilds, and where they lived, complete with plenty of specially commissioned maps.

Jewish London is also an extremely useful compendium of information for the Jewish resident in London, listing Jewish cultural and heritage organisations, synagogues, ritual baths, and other important Jewish centres, as well as providing a calendar of Jewish festivals and events in London.

The extremely knowledgeable authors, Rachel Kolsky and Roslyn Rawson, are Jewish historians and tour guides. Their lively, interesting text is illustrated with brand-new full-colour photography of the most important and fascinating Jewish sights.
