A Grand Day Out

On Tuesday 11th April members of the Allied Masonic Degrees District of London, along with their partners and friends, assembled in the Millennium Courtyard at Southwark Cathedral on the south bank of the Thames. This was the 2023 Spring Lunch Event. It kicked off with a tour of the Cathedral by our guides Colin and Martyn. Our 2 groups were given a splendid tour. Some places are just soaked in history and Southwark and its Cathedral is one of those places.

After just over an hour touring the Cathedral we made our way through the winding passageways of Borough Market to the Boot & Flogger Pub in Red Cross Way. Here we had a most enjoyable lunch filled with good food, wine and a room full of chatter and laughter.

The District Grand Prefect, Colin Woodcock, made a short address thanking the organisers, but most importantly everyone in the room for coming along to the event which proved to be a grand day out.
