Welcome

I wish you a warm welcome to the website for the London Province of "The United Religious, Military and Masonic Orders of the Temple and of St. John of Jerusalem, Palestine, Rhodes and Malta in England and Wales and Provinces Overseas", or as it is more simply known, the Knights Templar. Like Freemasonry, the Order has a number of provinces across the country, the Province of London being one of them. We serve around 900 Knights and I hope this website provides a little more information on our history, setup, charity work and social activities as well as providing a greater understanding and appreciation of our Order. Please feel free to browse and if you have any questions or wish to have more information, we will be delighted to hear from you.

Yours in the Bonds of the Order

Rt. E.Kt. David Thompson
Provincial Prior for The Province of London

9 Readings and Carols in celebration of Christmas
Wednesday 1st December 2021 at 6.30pm

Join us at St. Botolph's, Bishopsgate, London EC2M 3TL in a wonderful celebration for you, your family and friends followed by an excellent hot supper.

It is important that we, as a Christian Order, should once again give thanks and celebrate our belief and afterwards gather together, this year perhaps more than in others, for re-emerging from such a period of uncertainty and take this opportunity to enjoy together an excellent repast. Book a ticket for the Carol Service only (FREE) or for the Service and hot supper for £36.00 per head. Click here for a little more information.
