Welcome to the Provincial Grand Lodge of Mark Master Masons of London
Welcome to this website for the Mark Province of London, the largest Province of Mark and Royal Ark Mariner Lodges under the Grand Lodge of Mark Master Masons of England and Wales. Our memberships currently exceed 3,500 and our Brethren are spread over 107 Mark Lodges and 85 Royal Ark Mariner Lodges. Such is the enthusiasm for these particular branches of the Progressive Orders, administered out of Mark Masons’ Hall at 86 St James’s Street, that we will be able to count 87 Royal Ark Mariner Lodges and 108 Mark Lodges before long!
Masonry has come through a particularly stormy period in the recent past and as I write this forward to our website I note that it is almost exactly 2 years since the first Lockdown and Suspension of our Masonic activities. London Mark and R.A.M. has enjoyed a particularly healthy revival since the autumn of 2021, when we started to see the gradual lifting of restrictions and many of our Lodges have been ultra-busy Installing and Proclaiming Masters and Commanders and, just as importantly, Advancing and Elevating Candidates. To all our members who have contributed to these ceremonials and to the recruitment of new brethren, I extend my heartfelt thanks and congratulations.
The Photo Galleries section under the “News” tab on this website, abounds with pictures illustrating the extent of the enjoyment we all feel now at the return to near-normal working. The “Upcoming Events” section also lists the many activities which our London Mark Brethren are encouraged to take a note of now and to apply for places, so I look forward to meeting and seeing you all at these functions and on the circuit in general at Mark Masons’ Hall and elsewhere around this wonderful, vibrant Province of London.
