London Rifle Brigade Lodge No.1962 was founded in 1882 and continues to uphold the traditions and camaraderie of our founding members well over 100 years later.
If you are already a Freemason you would be welcomed as a joining member, or if you would simply like to attend a meeting as a visitor. We welcome both military and non-military members to join the both historic and friendly environment to begin or continue your journey through the masonic craft.
London Rifle Brigade Chapter No.1962 formed in 1919 recently celebrated its first 100 years and provides members a further progression of their Masonic journey into Royal Arch Masonry.
We hold our Lodge meetings 4 times per year at the salubrious location of Mark Masons’ Hall, 86 St. James Street, London, SW1A 1PL and our Royal Arch Chapter meetings 3 times per year at Freemasons Hall, 60 Great Queen St, Holborn, London WC2B 5AZ.
