Biographical history

The North London Synagogue was opened in 1868, although services had been taking place in the area since 1864. It was situated on John Street (now Lofting Road) in Barnsbury, Islington. The synagogue was admitted as a Constituent member of the United Synagogue in 1878. The opening of Dalston Synagogue caused a decline in membership and in 1958 the two establishments were amalgamated.

From: 'Islington: Judaism', A History of the County of Middlesex: Volume 8: Islington and Stoke Newington parishes (1985), pp. 117 (available online).
