Hei, Marhaba, Bonjour, Hola, Ciao, Ni hao, Namaste, Konnichiwa, Hallo !!

Join Aldwych Club Lodge a true international lodge

Welcoming new Brethren into our Lodge goes directly to the foundations of our Craft — the universality of Freemasonry and the living reality of our Brotherhood.

Aldwych Club Lodge is a historic lodge, founded in Fleet Street, and after some travels has been at Freemasons Hall for some time now. We are a widely dispersed lodge, with members around the world.

Our members come from different countries, paths, professions, and experiences. Yet within these walls those differences fade, for what matters is the work we undertake together and the principles we share.

On the blazon of this Lodge appears the winged clarion — the herald’s trumpet borne on wings. It reminds us that the spirit of our Tradition travels beyond distance, beyond borders, and beyond individual lives. It is the emblem of a Lodge that calls men together in a common purpose.

The winged clarion proclaims that Masonry is universal. Its sound is not confined to one valley, one city, or one nation. It carries the message of Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth across generations and across the world. And just as the ancient Companion perfected his craft through labour and fellowship, so too do we invite those who join this Lodge to share in that same journey — working together to build the inner temple of character, wisdom, and fraternity.

We teach that Freemasonry is universal. We say that it transcends nationality, language, culture, and political boundaries. We take pride in belonging to a Freemasonry that is neither local nor sectarian, but worldwide. Universality is not proved by words alone. It is proved by our conduct. Aldwych Club Lodge is an international lodge welcoming brother from all around the globe.

The Winged Clarion

At the heart of the medal of Aldwych Club Lodge stands a winged clarion — a straight herald’s trumpet set upright and flanked by silver wings. This emblem is deliberate, conveys our intention to carry the Tradition beyond boundaries.

In heraldic tradition, the clarion signifies proclamation. It is the instrument by which kings were announced, assemblies convened, and important declarations made public. It is clarity and authority made audible. When wings are added, the meaning deepens. Wings symbolise swiftness, elevation, and transmission across distance.

The Winged Clarion expresses Tradition carried outward. This symbolism has been chosen or Aldwych Club Lodge i 1917 by the founding members engaged in international travel and commerce.

Travellers, merchants, financiers, and explorers have been carriers not only of goods, but of tradition, ideas, customs, and standards of conduct. They move between cities and nations. Their word must be trusted in places far from home. Their reputation precedes them, travels with them, and returns before them.

Aldwych Club Lodge’s Winged Clarion is the symbol of reputation that precedes, and of integrity that sustains relationships across nations.
