A venue with legacy of innovation
Freemasons’ Hall has long been a cornerstone of London’s architectural and cultural heritage. Since 1775, the site has been home to meetings of the Freemasons, an organisation with deep historical roots in craftsmanship, knowledge sharing, and philanthropy. The current building, completed in 1933, was originally named the Masonic Peace Memorial in honor of those who lost their lives in World War I, funded entirely by Freemason Lodges across the country.
Freemasonry, with its values of integrity, friendship, respect, and service, has counted many notable figures among its ranks. They include Sir Christopher Wren, the architect of St. Paul’s Cathedral, and wartime Prime Minister Winston Churchill. Today, the organisation continues its charitable legacy, raising £15 million in 2024 alone and funding every emergency helicopter in London.
