The Old King's Arms was a tavern in the Strand, London, which was noted for hosting a masonic lodge which was linked to the Grand Lodge. In the 1730s it was renowned as an Enlightenment Lodge, but subsequently evolved more into a dining club.[1]
Masonic Lodge edit
In 1735 Lord Weymouth, at the time Grand Master of the Premier Grand Lodge of England, was elected Worshipful Master of the masonic lodge based there.[2] Lord John Ward, an avid Freemason, joined the Lodge in 1744. He had become Grand Master in 1742.
