Other than New York there is no city, again other than possibly in Is rael, where Jewish travelers can feel more "at home" than London. First of all, London has the "feel" to it that has great appeal to Jewish travelers. It's as cos- mopolitan as any city in the world. Its restaur- ants, its smart shops, its theater and other cul- tural activities, are only part of the story. Of equal importance to this Jewish traveler is the over- whelming sense of his- tory at almost every turn.

Jews are prominent in all phases of life in Lon- don, from retailing to the professions, from theater to political life. Many Jews sit in Parliament and, according to the Jewish yearbook of Eng- land, there are many Jewish Peers, Baronets, and Knights. London also has one of the oldest and most re- spected English language Jewish newspapers. It's the Jewish Chronicle which has been publish- ing for over 125 years. This silver dish, from collection of London's Jewish Museum, was presented to the Lord Mayor of London by Bevis Marks Synagogue in 1702. come you for services in- cluding St. John's Wood Liberal Synagogue on St. John's Wood Road, West London Synagogue on Upper Berkley, and Bevis Marks Synagogue on St. Mary Ave. Where else but in London could you find a shul named St. John's?
