summary

The Western Synagogue, one of the first Aschkenazi synagogues in England, was founded in 1761. Whilst adhering to strict Orthodox principles, it was the first London synagogue to preach sermons in English. For some fifty years it occupied the former Sans Souci Theatre (“Charles Dibdin’s” Theatre) in Denmark Court, Strand, before moving to St. Alban’s Place in 1814. Today it has amalgamated and is known as the The Western Marble Arch Synagogue and is located on Great Cumberland Place.
