he First Lodge of England was founded on the 11th February 1910, now 111 years later we are very proud of its history and the illustrious past members of this Lodge.

Although we meet at Fellowship House in Hampstead Garden Suburb, NW11 at least monthly, our members are from a very wide area. Meetings are varied in that we have well attended evenings with well-known guest speakers, film shows and opera evenings. The Lodge organises a summer lunch, summer outings/walking tours, trips abroad and an annual quiz evening. All details are available from our President or Hon. Secretary.

We would be delighted to welcome you to our meetings which are held in a warm and friendly atmosphere.

Our website bnaibrithfirstlodgeofengland.com contains more information about our Lodge.
