A centre that provides care, support and activities for people in the Jewish community is set to leave its Golders Green home.

The London Jewish Cultural Centre, based in Ivy House, will relocate to JW3, in Finchley Road, Hampstead, in the next few months.

The centre has been based in Ivy House since 2005, but after nine years the building has been put up for sale.

It is hoped the move will be complete by 2015.

JW3 opened last year and has become a community hub for Jewish people in the area.

Michael Marx, chairman of LJCC, said: "We are delighted to make this announcement today. This will provide the opportunity to significantly advance Jewish education in many new directions.

"The experience of LJCC over 30 years, and the LJCC's highly regarded team, are a good complement to JW3 and its resources. The community in London, and further afield, can only benefit from this exciting development."
