The Lodge of Mercy

The Lodge of Mercy was consecrated on 23 May 1949.

Since 1949, the Lodge of Mercy has brought people together through Freemasonry. Today, we meet at Freemasons’ Hall in the heart of London, continuing a tradition of fellowship, learning and charitable purpose.

Whether you are discovering Freemasonry for the first time or visiting as a brother, we invite you to get to know us.
