London · United Kingdom · Kosher-friendly, in the Jewish quarter
Staying in Golders Green, Hendon or Stamford Hill
Three separate Jewish neighbourhoods in one city, none of them central, each with a full week of shuls, shops and schools — and the choice between them is a real one.
No kosher kitchen — listed for where it stands, not for its food.
- They are not interchangeable. Golders Green and Hendon are north-west and about twenty-five minutes on the Northern line from the centre; Stamford Hill is north-east and has no tube at all, which surprises people who booked there for the shuls.
- Golders Green Road is the densest concentration of kosher food in Europe outside Israel. If food is the deciding factor, that is the street.
- None of the three is near the sightseeing. Expect to travel in each day — that is the trade for a walkable Shabbos.
- Ask locally about the eruv rather than relying on anything printed here; London has more than one and their boundaries matter.
