History
The New Synagogue was founded in 1761 in Leadenhall Street. It remained there until 1837, when it moved to Great Saint Helens in Bishopsgate. Following the movement of a large part of its congregation into London's suburbs, the synagogue moved again in 1915 to Egerton Road, Stamford Hill. Its membership began to decline after World War II and in 1987 the United Synagogue sold it to the Bobov, a Chasidic community.
The New Synagogue was one of the original five synagogues which grouped together to form the United Synagogue in 1870, and remained a Constituent member until its sale.
