Golders Green, London (May 14, 2026)

King Charles visited Golders Green on Thursday in a public show of support for London’s Jewish community following a series of antisemitic attacks, including last month’s knife attack in the heavily Jewish neighborhood.

During the visit, the King stopped at a Jewish Care center in northwest London, where he met with victims of the April 29 stabbing attack and spoke with community members affected by the recent violence. The visit came amid heightened concern over the safety of British Jews after several incidents targeting Jewish individuals and institutions.

The King also met with members of Shomrim, the Jewish volunteer neighborhood safety organization that helped respond to the Golders Green attack. Volunteers from Shomrim and Hatzola were among those who assisted at the scene and helped protect the public until police took control.

The April 29 attack left two Jewish men injured and was later treated by police as a terror-related incident. Authorities said the suspect was arrested after the attack and charged in connection with attempted murder. The incident shook the local Jewish community and prompted a wider security response across the area.

Golders Green is home to one of the United Kingdom’s largest Jewish communities, with many shuls, schools, kosher businesses, and communal organizations. The King’s visit was seen by many residents as an important gesture of solidarity at a time when Jewish families have been facing increased fear and uncertainty.

The visit also followed warnings from senior police officials about the seriousness of the current threat environment facing Jewish Londoners. Community leaders have called for stronger protection, faster enforcement, and clear national leadership against antisemitism.

By meeting victims and first responders in person, the King reaffirmed his support for the Jewish community and recognized the courage of those who stepped forward during the attack.
