Kenton United Synagogue

Kenton United Synagogue is a Jewish place of worship located in Harrow, North-West London. It is part of the United Synagogue, a union of Orthodox Jewish synagogues in the United Kingdom. The synagogue is currently newsworthy due to a recent attempted arson attack on its premises. This incident, which caused minor smoke damage to an internal room, is part of a series of similar attacks targeting Jewish sites in North London. The Metropolitan Police's Counter Terrorism Policing unit is investigating these incidents, including the one at Kenton United Synagogue, and are exploring potential links to Iranian proxies. The Community Security Trust (CST), an organization that monitors antisemitism and provides protection for Jewish communities, is also involved. The incident highlights concerns about rising antisemitism and the security of Jewish institutions in the UK.
