Some years ago I had the pleasure of attending several meetings in the headquarters of LDH in London, right around the corner from the Nottinghill Gate tube station, as I recall. Does anyone know what happened to that building when the headquarters were moved to Surbiton? My impression was that the structure figured prominently in the early history of LDH in the UK and I wonder if anything had been done to designate it as a masonic landmark.

That is an excellent question. I don’t have the info to hand myself but I expect Cora will and should be able to shed some light on the situation with the old place. I do know, however, that LDH-UK will soon have another lodge back in London, which will be near Baker St. Here’s something from our website, www.droit-humain.org/uk/ : "An exciting development in London
We will shortly be consecrating a new Lodge which will meet on a weekday, in London, near Baker Street. For some time there has been a need for a Lodge in Central London, for those members who live in London and in other parts of the Home Counties who find it difficult to attend Lodge meetings in Surbiton. The Lodge will also support those Co-Masons who work in London, giving them the opportunity to attend meetings after work, either as Lodge members or as visitors. This new Lodge will also act as host to the many Co-Masons visiting London from abroad."

I think it was sold to be honest. I understand it was well worth seeing but expensive to maintain.

curious as to this co-masonry.
it's non-existent where I am. I've only ever sat in lodge with men.
have the male co-masons here participated in a men-only lodge before joining their co-masonic lodge? Is the dynamic any different?
