The launch of a new public bus service linking two areas of London with large Jewish populations has proved to be a source of debate. Anti-Semitic incidents have hit record levels in the UK since the start of Israel's war in Gaza, with London mayor Sadiq Khan saying he had been struck by the fear felt by Jews receiving abuse when changing buses. The new 310 route provides a direct link between Golders Green and Stamford Hill, removing the need for passengers to change buses. Andrew Gilbert, a leader of the British Jewish community and long-time campaigner for the new route, plays down Jewish safety concerns as a reason for the service, saying "it's not a Jewish bus", but "it's convenient for our community, it's also convenient for anyone else that wants to go from Stamford Hill to Golders Green."
