London is home to over half of all people who identify as Jewish in England and Wales. These two maps show just how concentrated the community is even at the borough and ward level.
At borough level:
- Barnet: 20.1% Jewish (by far the highest)
- Hackney: 6.4%
- Every other borough: <4%
At ward level, the concentration becomes even more striking:
- Golders Green: 49.9% Jewish
- Garden Suburb: 41.1%
- Stamford Hill West: 40.0%
These three wards have the highest Jewish population shares of any ward in England and Wales.

Great work
Not for long unfortunately with the way things are going
Really interesting how the ward-level map is much more revealing.
Barnet and Hackney look notable at borough level, but the real story is the clustering around specific historic communities like Golders Green and Stamford Hill.
