It is one of the finest Art Deco buildings in London, built during 1927-33 to commerate the thousands of masons that lost their lives in the WW1. Freemasonry is one of the oldest social and charitable organisations in the world. Its roots lie in the traditions of the medieval stonemasons who built our cathedrals and castles. Freemasons use four important guiding principles to help define their path through life: Integrity, Friendship, Respect and Charity. Membership is open to people from all backgrounds and the organisation’s aim is to empower members to be the best they can be – it’s about building character, supporting members as individuals and helping them make a positive contribution to society.
