Building Renovation

During our renovation period, we have agreed two beautiful venues for our regular services in our local N12 area.

Friday evenings will be at the Quaker Meeting House on Alexandra Grove 6.30pm as usual for a beautiful and reflective Shabbat space (with good parking and easy public transport).

Shabbat morning services and Ivriah will be held at the Trinity Church Centre (TCC) on Nether Street – an open and welcoming space that will suit us well.

 

For the High Holy Days, we will be using the building of Shaarei Tzedek synagogue in Whetstone 120 Oakleigh Road North London N20 9EZ.

Renewal of our building

Earlier this year we sought, and found, an architectural practice with all the right characteristics for us; MillsPower Architecture were appointed in early March 2023.

Led by the MillsPower team, Phyllida Mills and David Janosi, great progress has been made since March. 

A building survey was commissioned. A Quantity surveyor, sewerage, rainwater and drainage specialist, and consulting engineers have all been appointed and have done or are doing their work. An asbestos survey and an environmental assessment will take place shortly. A detailed evaluation of how the building is used, day by day, was undertaken by David Janosi. He consulted with dozens of people, including our valued tenants at the Southover Partnership. 

Planning is now well under way. As you will see in the drawings done by the team at MillsPower, our plans are modest yet will significantly change the look of the congregation. Please look out for our next general meeting talking about the details.
