About Egyptian Lodge No.27
A historic London lodge founded in 1811, built on friendship, character and tradition.
Over two centuries of tradition
The original warrant
The warrant from which this Lodge descends was first granted by the Atholl Grand Lodge, numbered 21 — the same number later revived for Egyptian Lodge.
Lodge founded
On 20 June 1811, the dormant warrant was reopened as a private lodge. Its first order of business was proposing Mr William McDonald, a law stationer, as its first candidate for initiation.
Bicentenary
The Lodge marked its 200th anniversary at Freemasons’ Hall, presenting £40,000 to the Freemasons’ Grand Charity from its Benevolent Fund, in the presence of the Pro Grand Master and Metropolitan Grand Master. Over a hundred brethren attended the celebration dinner afterwards.
A thriving lodge
Egyptian Lodge No.27 continues to welcome new members at Freemasons’ Hall, London.
What We Stand For

Genuine friendship between men of good character.
Integrity
Honesty and good judgement, in and beyond the Lodge.
Charity
Service to causes beyond ourselves.
Tradition
Part of a centuries-old institution and its customs.
Giving back, together
