Event Details
The Menorah in Trafalgar Square is a beloved tradition that unites Londoners from all walks of life to celebrate the eight-day festival.
Since 2007, the Mayor of London has proudly sponsored the Menorah, symbolising the strong bond between the Mayor and the Jewish community. The Menorah is a beacon for everyone in London, welcoming people of all religious, cultural, and political backgrounds.
This is organised by the Jewish Leadership Council in collaboration with the London Jewish Forum.
Come and experience the warmth and light of Chanukah in Trafalgar Square.
