Shabbat in London

Eruv: yes

NW London Eruv covers Golders Green, Hendon and Finchley; status posted weekly. A stricter Federation Golders Green eruv (ggeruv.org) opened Feb 2025. Edgware has its own. eruv.co.uk (read Nov 2026) also lists separate St Johns Wood and South Hampstead eruvin (no boundaries given) and others at Barnet, Belmont, Borehamwood, Brondesbury Park, Bushey, Chigwell, Mill Hill, Pinner, Stanmore and Woodside Park, all showing 'being checked'. It lists none for Marble Arch, the West End or the City, and neither it nor the Marble Arch visitor guide mentions one (not found as of Nov 2026), so assume no carrying near Marble Arch unless Western Marble Arch (020 7723 9333) says otherwise.

Tony Page Marylebone

Shabbat meal packages with advance booking (Marble Arch guide, spring 2025). Address settled: KLBD list (23 Oct 2025), Hardens (Jan 2025: corner of Paddington and Chiltern Sts) and Google Maps all give 26 Paddington St; the guide's 8-10 Moxon St is outdated.

Tish

KLBD list (23 Oct 2025) shows it as glatt meat. 2018 Jewish News said it opened for booked Shabbat meals; Google Maps (Nov 2026) shows Fri and Sat closed and no current Shabbat offer turned up on any page read. Call before relying on it.

Central Kosher (Chabad Belgravia)

Hotel delivery with advance notice (Marble Arch guide, spring 2025). Address settled for now: Google Maps (Nov 2026) shows Central Kosher and Chabad Belgravia both at 11 Grosvenor Place, with live hours; the guide's 44 Grosvenor Gardens looks outdated. Not on KLBD's restaurant list (shops may be listed elsewhere), so hechsher unknown.

Reubens Deli & Restaurant

Reopened after the 2024 fires: the JC (13 Feb 2025) reported a planned spring 2025 reopening (https://www.thejc.com/community/kosher-restaurant-reubens-set-to-return-r4grocxr), Google reviews describe the current dinner menu and Google Maps shows live hours (Nov 2026). Hardens still carries an old closed-after-fire banner and the restaurant's own site blocks automated reading. Not on KLBD establishments list (23 Oct 2025), so hechsher unknown. Ring before relying on it.

Kosher Kingdom Golders Green (reopened 1 Nov 2026)

Fire on 27 May 2026 destroyed the old store (Jewish News 4 Jun 2026); the JC (29 Oct 2026) reports it reopens Sunday 1 Nov 2026 at a new site opposite the old one. Google Maps lists 217–219 Golders Green Road with hours for 2 Nov, so confirm the exact frontage and current hours by phone. Google shows Saturday 9:00–17:00, which looks like a default for a shop that should close for Shabbat: confirm. Hechsher not stated in the sources read.

Hours: Mon–Tue 7:00–22:00 · Wed–Thu 7:00–24:00 · Fri 7:00–18:30 per Google, which cannot hold in winter (candle lighting about 16:00), so shop early and call · Sat: call (Google shows 9:00–17:00, unconfirmed) · Sun 7:00–22:00 (Google Maps, Nov 2026) · +44 20 8455 1429

Kosher Kingdom Edgware

Branch opened after the Golders Green store burned (Jewish News 4 Jun 2026: opening 9 Jun). About 6 km from Golders Green, so a pre-Shabbat shopping trip, not walkable on Shabbat; the Golders Green store itself reopened on 1 Nov 2026 (see Kosher Kingdom Golders Green). Hechsher not stated in the sources read.

Hours: Sun–Thu 7:00–22:00 (Thu to 24:00) · Fri 7:00–15:35 on 6 Nov (Google lists 19:00 as the usual close; winter closes earlier) · Sat closed (Google Maps, Nov 2026) · +44 20 8455 1429

Shirehall Lane Mikvah (men's, Hendon)

Booking: +44 20 8202 1427 (Google) · 07517 137 686 (Chabad list)

• Stay on or near Golders Green Road or Brent Street (Hendon): shuls, kosher food and mikvaos are all walkable there.
• Shabbat meals: Chabad of Golders Green runs a Friday-night dinner (RSVP). Munk's hospitality committee arranges Fri night and Shabbos lunch for visitors (request form at ggbh.info). Bevis Marks sells Fri night and lunch (book by Wed noon). Tony Page takes Shabbat meal bookings; A current Shabbat-meal offer from Tish was not found online as of Nov 2026 (Google shows it closed Fri/Sat), so ring first. Hermolis supplies double-wrapped hotel meals.
• Eruv covers Golders Green, Hendon and Finchley (checked every Erev Shabbat at eruv.co.uk). eruv.co.uk lists St Johns Wood and South Hampstead eruvin but none for Marble Arch, the West End or the City (not found as of Nov 2026), so ask Western Marble Arch before carrying there.
• Central London: Western Marble Arch has daily services (weekday Mincha/Ma'ariv 15:30 in early Nov) and welcomes visitors who email first; Central Kosher (Belgravia) delivers to hotels.
• Heathrow: DD's kosher sandwiches at several outlets; Hermolis sealed meals in T3/T5 lounges. No listed hotel confirms a Shabbat key or lift; guests report key cards at NOX and The Sumner (2026), so ask for a manual key anywhere. The Pillar (Brent Street; hot plates £30 for two, book ahead) and Croft Court (Shabbat urn) have sourced Shabbat set-ups.
• Hechsher: KLBD (London Beth Din) is the main one; Federation and Kedassia also certify. KLBD's restaurant list (Oct 2025) says all its meat restaurants are glatt.
• Friday closing: Carmelli and Novellino close about 14:00; Reubens deli and Central Kosher about 15:00; Hummus Bar, Sami's, Taboon, Tish and Tony Page are closed all day Friday. Buy Shabbat food Thursday or Friday morning. Kosher Kingdom Golders Green reopened on 1 Nov 2026 (JC): Google's Friday close of 18:30 cannot hold in winter, so shop by early afternoon.
• Munk's site is ggbh.info (ggbh.org is a parked domain) and no times were found on it as of Nov 2026: ring 020 8455 2974 or try zman.ggbh.org (it blocked automated reading). Clocks went back on 25 Oct: candle lighting is about 16:10 in early Nov and under 16:00 by 13 Nov.
• Saturday check-out stays 11:00 (Pillar and Croft Court confirm it on Booking.com): ask about luggage storage or holding the room if you need it past Shabbat lunch.

Seen in older guides, checked Nov 2026: Solly's (Golders Green Road): closed in June 2014 (JC, 6 Jun 2014, https://www.thejc.com/news/its-shwarmaggedon-as-sollys-closes-down-lk53jxk8; Time Out also lists it as closed).
