The building that serves the Chabad community in London was established after many years without a central location for the communal life of Chabad chassidim in the city. Until 5719, Rabbi Bentzion Shemtov would rent a small building in the Stamford Hill neighborhood in London. Over the years, as Chabad activities in England increased, a need arose to purchase a new building for the community that would include offices, a mikvah, a shul, and a cheder al taharas hakodesh.
