Jews in London
In London and sporadically in the rest of England, Jews have been resident since about 1070.
The East End of London was already since the early modern times the gateway to the metropolis for refugees and migrants, first from Europe, later from all over the world. Especially in the 17th century, Huguenots settled here, persecuted for their faith in France. Various French street names in Whitechapel still testify to this settlement, and houses on it of the prosperity to which some of them - especially the silk weavers - brought.
