Argosy is a friendly and welcoming lodge. Originally formed in 1930, we presently comprise of over 30 active members. Advocating the best attributes in Freemasonry, Argosy prides itself in balancing tradition with a forward looking approach. Our members vary in demographic with around half under the age of 45 and working around London, with the balance over 50 years of age, who also work and others who are enjoying retirement.
Freemasonry teaches moral lessons and self-knowledge through participation in a progression of allegorical two-part plays, which can be learnt by heart and performed within each lodge.
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 way of going about it.
The regular meetings are held on the third Saturday’s in February, April and October, and the second Saturday in December within the magnificent Grade II listed building, Freemasons Hall, Covent Garden.

Freemasonry is influenced by the arts in every form - most obviously the theatrical spectacle of our ceremonies. These are beautiful performances which have the precision and poise of dance. Music is also integral, and good organists introduce the occasional comic riff (I once heard a Grand Inspector piped in to the Star Wars Imperial March, aka Darth Vader’s theme).
