Australia Lodge No. 6505

The Lodge was consecrated at Freemasons Hall, Great Queen Street, London in 1947 under the jurisdiction of the United Grand Lodge of England. The Petition for its warrant stated that ‘the foundation was for the association of Australian Masons in England’.

The Lodge has four regular meetings each year at the Imperial Hotel, Russell Square Gardens, London. (Click here for map). These are held on the 1^st Tuesday in April, 1^st Wednesday of July, 2^nd Wednesday in November and the Installation Meeting held on the 2^nd Tuesday in September. With the Lodge going from strength to strength, over the last few years we have had to seek dispensation from MGL to hold at least two extra meetings per year.
Visiting Freemasons who are members of a Grand Lodge recognized by the United Grand Lodge of England are welcome to come and join in our assemblies.

If we are not holding a meeting during the London visit of overseas brethren, then we would be more than happy to invite them to one of the other Craft Lodges that meet more frequently during the year.

We rejoice in our International fellowship devoted to promoting the Craft's main precepts, Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth allied to our special and deeply held belief in freedom, justice and equality; in the peace and harmony that must come from tolerance and understanding, from respect for the culture and beliefs of our fellow creatures.

All areas of this site are available to public view, including those pages intended for the use of Freemasons.
