The number of anti-semitic hate crimes in London has more than doubled in the space of a year.
Metropolitan Police figures showed a total of 459 anti-semitic crimes in the past financial year - up 137 per cent from 193 the year before.
Of those, one in 10 involved violence. There were 276 incidents of harassment, while criminal damage accounted for 115 anti-semitic crimes.
Crimes including assault, harassment, arson and criminal damage fuelled a rise in other areas including Greater Manchester, Merseyside, West Midlands and West Yorkshire.
Home Secretary Theresa May said anti-semitism has "absolutely no place in Britain".
She said: "Those who seek to spread anti-semitic hatred should know that the Government will act against all those who seek to divide our country and sow discord."
The Community Security Trust, a charity that monitors anti-semitism also recorded a 53 per cent rise in the number of anti-semitic incidents in the first half of this year compared to the same period of last year.
The findings come at a time of heightened alert among Jewish communities after terrorist attacks in Europe.
A Kosher supermarket was targeted in the Paris atrocities in January and the following month a Jewish man was killed near the main synagogue in Copenhagen.
The CST said its analysis suggests the main explanation for the rise is a greater willingness to report incidents.
Chief executive David Delew said: "The terrorist attacks on European Jews earlier this year, following the high levels of anti-semitism in 2014, were a difficult and unsettling experience for our Jewish community.
"We welcome the apparent increase in reporting of anti-semitic incidents, but regret the concern and anxiety about anti-semitism that this reflects."
