Historical Background of The Northern Polytechnic Lodge No. L6039
The Northern Polytechnic Lodge was founded in London in 1945 by lecturers, students, and staff of the North London Polytechnic for further and higher education. Many of our founders had recently returned from active service in the Second World War and sought to constitute a Masonic Lodge that harbored fellowship and harmony in the post-war era. Over the years, the North London Polytechnic evolved to become a part of what is now known as the London Metropolitan University. Our traditional links with the former North London Polytechnic, whose educational emphasis was focused on nature, art, science, and industry, have sadly faded. However, this foundation serves to motivate our renewed mission to nurture Masonic opportunities for any student who is living and studying in London and wishes to pursue Freemasonry as a timeless complement to their contemporary lives. The current membership reflects a diverse range of professional backgrounds, ranging from health & safety, education, software development, IT, accountancy, creative industries, and performing arts as well as those currently pursuing undergraduate and postgraduate studies.
