In London for Shabbos very soon
1) Does Marble Arch have a shabbos morning kiddush and is it hot food or enough for a lunch or do I need to look for shabbos takeout
2) Is there any shabbos takeout in the center of the city or do I need to go to Hendon or GG to get prepared food

Reubens is a deli within a 10 minute walk of Marble Arch so that might work.

Stopping over for the day on Sunday August 13th in London with 6 people. Looking for a driver/ tour guide to pick up/drop off at the airport and take us around. TIA

This is what marble arch synagogue sent to me via email (even though I didn’t ask about shabbos meals lol):

In terms of food, we have Shabbat kiddush and Seudah Shlishit for visitors. In terms of other shabbat meals, there is Chabad of Bloomsbury:

https://www.chabadw1.org/

Reubens Restaurant is nearby (https://reubensrestaurant.com/) for food to pick up on Erev Shabbat and there is a restaurant that is open over shabbat (usually) for prepayment and is called Island Grill at the Royal Lancaster Hotel. (https://www.tonypagerestaurant.com/)

It is expensive, though.

You could also try Habiba’s Deli who can prepare food for delivery or pickup.

If the Buckingham Palace website, Viator and Getyourguide are all sold out of tickets, is there any other way to get in? Do they sell tickets at the entrance?

[Ploni3]

Are there any places between Buckingham Pallace and the Thames with kosher sandwiches? Last time I was there I went to a few places on the Hermoles list and none had.

When is this credit from? I've been living in London for almost 6 years and have never heard of 1701. And I'm quite the foodie...

Google says it's permanently closed

From the website it actually looks like they've completely rebranded with a different (but similar) name and it doesn't seem like they have a physical location. They have a Summer '23 menu on their website, indicating they are still in business. They claim to be under supervision of London Beth Din but I couldn't find them on London Beth Din's list of certified establishments/caterers etc (kosher.org.uk)

All a bit strange. Would love to get some more info on this place.

Dan?

Anyone have a current contact for a driver? The one for Yitzchok on the topic wiki does not seem to be current

Spent several hours over the past couple of weeks editing the wiki (mostly the restaurants), as it was very outdated.

I have one day in London - with kids 9-17
Arriving 10am to Heathrow.. leaving next morning.
Is it worth going to Madame tussods - or better spend all day seeing the outdoor sites?
Thought the kids would enjoy- but a little reluctant to lock myself into a time slot on such a short stay and risk missing out on other things

With only 1 day in London, I wouldn't spend it at Madame Tussauds.

*EXCITING NEWS*

*NEW SUKKAH IN HEATHROW AIRPORT*
 
For the 1st time in its history, Heathrow Airport has a proper sukkah! See picture above.

The pop-up ones are still available as in previous years, but this is easier, safer, and more convenient.

It is located in the Central Terminal Area of Terminal 2/3.  Follow signs for the Chapel from the Central Bus Station. From T4 and T5 you need to catch free transfer to T2/T3 and then follow the signs.

If you use it/plan to use it or have any enquiries, please call/text Rabbi Vogel on +44 7970829758.
 
Any rubbish must be taken with you as there is no dustbin for security reasons, please make a kiddush hashem.
