=== Jewish community ===
There has been a prominent [[Jewish]] community in Golders Green since the early 20th century following the building of the station at the end of the Hampstead railway.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1393834?section=official-list-entry | title=GOLDERS GREEN SYNAGOGUE, non Civil Parish - 1393834 &#124; Historic England }}</ref> [[Golders Green United Synagogue]] was the first purpose built synagogue, with its foundation stone laid on 16 October 1921. The Jewish community took root after [[Adolf Hitler|Hitler]]'s rise to power, with the first German Jewish immigrants forming the [[Golders Green Beth Hamedrash]]. Soon after, [[Galicia (Eastern Europe)|Galicia]]n Jewish immigrants formed other synagogues. With it came the formation of Jewish schools such as Menorah Primary School before the onset of [[World War II]].

There are close to fifty kosher restaurants and eateries under rabbinical supervision in Golders Green, and more than 40 synagogues throughout the area continuing into neighbouring [[Hendon]], as well as 30 Jewish schools (some in outlying areas owing to space restriction), many of them independent.{{Citation needed|date=October 2013}}

The Jewish community of Hendon and Golders Green is viewed as one by many in the community there, as they share the schooling system as well as rabbinical guidance and synagogue affiliations.
