New London Synagogue is a Masorti Jewish congregation and synagogue in St John's Wood in London, England, in the United Kingdom.
The congregation was founded in 1964 by followers of Rabbi Louis Jacobs, following the "Jacobs Affair" in which Jacobs was refused employment in the United Synagogue due to alleged heresy. It is the founding synagogue of the Masorti movement in the United Kingdom, which was established in 1985. Its congregation is made up of approximately 500 households and worships in the Ashkenazi rite.
The rabbis are Jeremy Gordon and Natasha Mann.
