JW3, also known as Jewish Community Centre London, is an arts, culture and entertainment venue, an educational facility and a social and community hub in north London. It is located at 341–351 Finchley Road, London, and opened on 29 September 2013.[1] Describing itself as "a new postcode for Jewish life", the venue's name is a wordplay on its postal address, situated in the NW3 postcode area.[1][2]
JW3 was the brainchild of Dame Vivien Duffield DBE, who contributed £40m of the project's £50m cost – over the 10 years it took to bring it to reality – through the Clore Duffield Foundation.[1][2] It was inspired by her 2003 visit to the Jewish Community Centre in Manhattan, New York.[1][2]
