The original restaurant, in
Brick Lane,
London, was established by Morris Bloom in 1920. Morris Bloom was a
Lithuanian immigrant. His son
Sidney continued to run the family business, and in the early 1930s, the restaurant moved to Old Montague Street. In 1952, the restaurant moved to
Whitechapel High Street, and subsequently, a second restaurant was opened in
Golders Green. The
East End restaurant closed in 1996, due to the changing nature of the neighborhood. For many years the Bloom's brand was maintained by the surviving restaurant in
Golders Green in north west London. It was renovated in summer 2007, and served traditional
Ashkenazi-style Jewish cuisine (as opposed to many other Kosher restaurants in London which are more influenced by
Israeli-style food). A new Bloom's restaurant opened in
Edgware in 2007, but has now closed. Shortly thereafter, the final Bloom's outlet, the Golders Green restaurant, also closed, in summer 2010. ==See also==
