Step contained in the Secret Masonic Temple at Andaz London. This gorgeous Secret Temple was lately found on the London boutique resort.
Andaz London on Liverpool Avenue unearthed this secret Freemason Temple. Hidden behind a wall for many years, this secret masonic lodge was solely rediscovered throughout renovations. Opened because the Nice Japanese Lodge in 1884 and one in all London’s unique railway lodges, the Andaz is housed in a surprising brick Victorian constructing designed by the architects of London’s famed Homes of Parliament.
The windowless room is called a “Grecian Temple,” an opulent mixture of Italian marble and checked flooring. After descending the temple’s spiral staircase, the Neoclassic area features a gorgeous blue dome ceiling with gold zodiac element, regal thrones and an organ.
Constructed by architect Charles Barry, Jr., in what was then the Nice Japanese Lodge, that is most likely one of the vital grandiose Masonic temples in London. Jack the Ripper was lively close by and was a Freemason, so students conclude that he gathered on this enchanting and personal location.
Fantastically restored and maintained by Andaz London, now part of the Hyatt household, the Masonic Temple is now out there for personal occasions, yoga lessons and human sacrifices (we’re kidding about that final half).
The London property even had Woman Gaga come by for a photoshoot with Vogue Italia, and Paloma Religion shot her music video for ‘I Simply Can’t Depend on You’ within the Secret Temple.
