The Grand Lodge of the Freemasons
is housed in a monumental, Art Deco building in Covent
Garden.
This is the central meeting
place for the UK's 8,600 Masonic lodges, and inside there
are around 20 temples with the centrepiece being the Grand
Temple, with mosaic ceiling, stained glass windows and carved
doors.
In an attempt to improve on
the Masons' reputation for secretiveness, the Freemasons'
Hall is open for concerts and other public events, as well
as guided tours. The tours show the Freemasonry's principles
and brotherly love.
There are many pieces of regalia
on show, but the secret of the Masonic handshake is not explained.
