Welcome to Bevis Marks Synagogue – the oldest synagogue in Britain
Step inside over 300 years of history and discover a living place of worship alongside the Dangoor Heritage Centre.
Visits include entry to Bevis Marks Synagogue, the Dangoor Heritage Centre and the George Weisz Treasury. Here, you can explore the remarkable history and living traditions of the Spanish and Portuguese Sephardi community, and step inside one of Europe’s most extraordinary buildings – still in use as a place of worship today.
We look forward to welcoming you.
Our aim is to pass on to future generations the heritage that has enriched our own lives — a legacy preserved and shared for the benefit of others for centuries to come.

The Sephardi Community
Bevis Marks is the oldest synagogue in the United Kingdom and a living community of faith. The ‘cathedral’ synagogue of Anglo Jewry, it has been in continuous use for more than 300 years. Today, the S&P Sephardi Community invites everyone to explore its spiritual home. Visitors can learn about the inspiring story of this immigrant minority community, its struggle for civil rights and its lasting resilience.
The Dangoor Heritage Centre
The Synagogue and the Dangoor Heritage Centre are London’s newest visitor attraction, 320 years in the making. You can explore a stunning collection of treasures and celebrate the history, culture and traditions of the Spanish and Portuguese Jewish community.
Plan your experience at one of London’s most special places. Learn more about its transformation through the Foundation’s work.
