WHAT IS FREEMASONRY?

One of the oldest secular social and charitable organisations in the world, modern Freemasonry’s roots lie in the traditions of the medieval stonemasons who built our castles and cathedrals…

The lodge has held several social events such as witnessing the Tower of London Keys ceremony a lady’s festival at a hotel usually outside of London that provides opportunity for our families to enjoy the company that these types of events provide. Importantly we maintain links with the regiment and serving soldiers.

EVENTS

Delve into the rich traditions of Freemasonry as we gather to celebrate our shared values and principles

WHERE WE MEET

Our meetings are held on the 1st Saturday of March, June, September and December, at 60 Great Queen Street, London WC2B 5AZ. they usually start at 11am thus providing members ample time to travel to London to join the meetings. The June meeting is the installation meeting.

ABOUT

The Parachute Regiment Lodge was consecrated on 5th June 1989. Though named for our Regiment the decision was taken not to restrict membership to serving or former members, though the majority do fit that criteria. Our membership is drawn from a wide range of military, security and civilian backgrounds who all adopt our ethos, to be the best in all that we do…

Engage in enlightening discussions, partake in meaningful rituals, and forge lasting connections with fellow brethren

After producing over 10,000 meals during the first Lockdown, the West London Masonic Centre team sprang back into action when the second Lockdown began in November.

They continued to produce hundreds of meals daily to support vulnerable and disadvantaged families in West London – again funded by grants from the Metropolitan Grand Lodge and the London Province of Mark Master Masons.

Food has been distributed by Ealing Community COVID19 Group, Westside Young People’s Centre (Ealing), Grove Community Project, Indian Gymkhana and Kang Charity.

We paid them a visit on a day when 300 biryanis were distributed to homeless people in slough by Kang Charity. Eddy Kirk, videographer in the Metropolitan Grand Lodge Communications Team captured the occasion for you to see for yourself.
