Information about the Lodge.

The Loyal Duchess of Kent Lodge was established in 1839, making it one of the older Lodges in the Country.

Over the years, many other Lodges have merged with it and in the 1990’s, members of the Duke of Bedford & Louisa Lodge, Lord Portman Lodge, and Westbourne Park Lodge together with two Women’s Lodges - Princess of Wales Lodge and Queens Park Lodge - joined to become the present Lodge family.

Our members are scattered throughout the United Kingdom and in many of the continents abroad.

When the Lodge was first established, it met in pubs and church halls but in the 1920’s, the Trustees decided to build a Lodge Room on the edge of the West End of London. 

Duchess House was opened in 1929 and in the small Lodge Room on the ground floor, members could enjoy the traditions of the Society after work, before returning to their homes in the suburbs.

To provide an income, the Trustees built something that could be let for commercial purposes for offices or light industrial use. Several other Lodges also used the facilities.

The building stands on the corner of Warren Street and Grafton Mews. In 2005 the building was sold but the Lodge stills meets in the ground floor Lodge Room.
