Introduction

We are an Emulation Ritual workings lodge that meets four times a year in London at Mark Mason’s Hall, 86 St James’s Street, London SW1A 1PL.

This website will provide all the introductory information you will need to inspire your curiosity or motivation to request further information about becoming a member of our Lodge.

If you are new to Freemasonry and are looking to find out a bit more, may we suggest that you start by clicking on the link “FAQs about Freemasonry”. This will give you a brief explanation as to what Freemasonry is about. If you are already a Freemason and are looking to simply find out more about Gihon Sancta Maria Lodge, why not go to the “About GSM” link.

However, if you choose to explore our website, we hope you enjoy it and find it useful. If you want to find out more about Freemasonry in general and the Gihon Sancta Maria Lodge in particular, please feel free to contact our Lodge Secretary using the link provided.

Why join

Freemasonry is about sharing a common desire for charitable support and following a high moral code. It is a male-only society, focused on following the three core principles and improving oneself and others. Our society is open to men of any race, religion, political belief and status.

How to join

One of the most common misconceptions about Freemasonry – and there are many of them – is that you have to be invited to join. There is absolutely no reason why you should not ask to join – in fact that is the correct procedure.
