Hoop Lane Cemetery
 


The Hoop Lane Cemetery, situated in Golders Green, London NW11, is owned jointly by the West London Synagogue of British Jews (WLS) and the Spanish and Portuguese Jews' Congregation (S & P). The first burial took place in 1897 and it is still a working cemetery. The two congregations are separated by a middle path: to the left the Prayer Hall and graves of WLS and to the right the Prayer Hall and graves of the S & P.

The first purpose built columbarium within a Jewish cemetery was constructed in West London Synagogue's acreage at Hoop Lane in the late 1930s. These now number three.
