The United Grand Lodge of England is the site of Freemasons in England.

Freemasonry is a fraternal order that was born out of the medieval stonemasons' guilds. What's spoken about in its meetings is shrouded in mystery and only Freemasons can attend their ceremonies.

There are three 'degrees' to Freemasonry, you begin as an Entered Apprentice before becoming a Fellow Craft and finally a Master Mason. Each of these degrees has a separate initiation ceremony.

The lodge holds regular meetings, and there are 6 million Freemasons worldwide.
