Freemasons Arms

Freemasons Arms

Freemasons Arms is a fairly common name for British pubs.

One such is a Shepherd Neame pub on Great Queen Street in London. It claims to be the site where both the Football Association and the Geological Society of London were founded; however this may be merely because the pub succeeded to the business of the Freemasons Tavern, which was demolished in 1860 to rebuild Freemasons Hall, 250 yards east in Great Queen Street on the site of the New Connaught Rooms.
