Alfred Robbins Lodge

Introduction

Alfred Robbins Lodge is a small and extremely friendly Masonic Lodge, operating out of Freemasons Hall in the Holborn/Covent Garden area of London. The Lodge originated almost 100 years ago, as a journalist’s Lodge. Sir Alfred Robbins, as he became and from whom the Lodge takes its name, was both a very prominent Freemason and a distinguished journalist, being publicly well known in the broad-sheet press as the “Prime Minister of Freemasonry”. As well as chairing “The Board of General Purposes” which built Freemasons Hall in Great Queen Street, he also did a great deal to promote links and the relationship between English Freemasonry and that in the United States.

Sir Alfred Robbins

The Lodge is currently developing its social calendar for this year, with a meal planned to which our partners are invited. Previous social events available to the Lodge members have ranged from a gala weekend at a seaside resort, to a tour of the Houses of Parliament and a visit to the Henley Regatta.

Anyone wishing to understand more about Freemasonry in general, our Lodge in particular, or to join a small and extremely friendly Lodge, would be encouraged to make contact with us.
