Blooms Restaurant, Whitechapel, East London, c1950s. In 1952 Sidney Bloom established the East End establishment which became ‘Britain’s most famous kosher restaurant’ (as it said above the door). The original Bloom’s had been established by Sidney’s father, Morris, a Lithuanian immigrant who arrived in London in 1912. He set up the first restaurant in Brick Lane in 1920. During the early 1930s, the restaurant moved to the corner of Old Montague Street and, in 1952, to Whitechapel High Street.
