Politics Two Freemasons' lodges operating secretly at Westminster Exclusive: Lodges for MPs and journalists are so covert even lobby reporters do not know members Integrity or influence? Photograph: David Levene for the GuardianTwo Freemasons’ lodges set up for members of parliament and political journalists are continuing to operate secretly at Westminster, the Guardian has learned. The three lodges each meet four times a year at Freemasons’ Hall, the UGLE’s headquarters in Covent Garden, London. It is unclear how many of their members joined before that year, however, and UGLE will not identify the lodges’ members. MPs who are Freemasons are members of other lodges, however.
