The US Embassy in London warned Americans on Friday to “exercise more caution” when visiting Jewish and American areas in Britain and Europe due to a recent increase in threats.
“The U.S. Embassy in London notes recent attacks and threats targeting Jewish and American institutions in the United Kingdom and Europe,” the alert said. “American citizens, especially those visiting institutions that serve Jewish or American interests, should remain alert and exercise greater caution.”
The embassy further advised Americans to remain alert while visiting tourist and expat areas and places of worship, reviewing personal safety plans and checking local media for updates.
Concerned citizens can also register with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Safe Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) to receive travel and safety updates.

The advisory followed a series of recent anti-Semitic attacks in Britain and Europe, including an arson attack on four ambulances linked to Jewish charities in London on March 23, an April 18 attack on the Kenton United Synagogue in London, and an explosion in March at a Jewish school in Amsterdam that authorities called a “targeted attack on the Jewish community.”
No one was injured, but the school was damaged.
