JW3 has announced that it is preparing for a “staggered reopening” - but that its kosher restaurant and café Zest is to be closed “for the foreseeable future”.

The Hampstead-based Jewish community centre said it was preparing for a “new normal” and would be adapting its offering to ensure that event could go ahead “within a Covid-secure framework”.

“Informed by responses to a recent community-wide survey,” a statement said, “JW3 has been planning for a phased re-introduction of on-site events and activities to take place over the coming months.”

JW3’s nursery will reopen on July 13, to be followed by “four weeks of summer camps from late July”.
