Bevis Marks Synagogue is one of the great treasures of London – an important place of Jewish worship and congregation that has maintained its traditions for over 300 years, and is still the thriving heart of a minority community in the 21st century.

In recent years, there has been extensive debate surrounding development in proximity of this special Grade I Listed building. In response, the synagogue has prepared a positive document which contains ‘guiding principles’ that the synagogue wishes developers and the City of London Corporation to take into account when considering new development.

The synagogue community understands the importance of the City of London, and wishes to be supportive of it, not stand in the way of progress.  Therefore, what is contained in the document is tabled in the spirit of fostering mutual understanding and paving the way for discussions that will hopefully result in changes to the built environment that our community can support.

The document will be the subject of a public exhibition which will be held online and in-person.

If you are unable to attend in-person, the online consultation will be launched on this website on 2nd July and run for a four-week period.
