Is this a real Masonic Hall? The one at the Lodge I will be attending seems to be a smaller version o fit. But this one is breathtaking.
Quite beautiful . . . .

Don't worry about the website itself . . . . alot of drivel. I'm only interested in the photo.

Kind of lame to my way of thinking-
take a pic off someone's web site THEN call the site drivel
What kind of logic is that? 
*edit- note
Note: good to see you looking further into masonry

The pic is the only real thing of value, in my estimation.
Reptilian overlords, mind-control, etc. = drivel.
The photo is a photo, it could have been anywhere else.
Feel free, however, to post a detailed review of the website.

I think ive seen this pic before, i think the Main Masonic library is kept there in London.The main one for the UK that is.

Ive been to the grand lodge of NY on 23rd street in Manhattan and it looks very similar to that. So yes it does look like a grand lodge. Good luck
with masonry.

Thanks, Aero.
The ceremonial room in the Lodge I'll be attending is also very elegant, though smaller. 18th century furniture, plush, beautiful carpeting, rich
with symboilsm. Alot of blue involved.
It's all very well taken care of, too.

I can confirm this is a picture of the Grand Temple at Freemason's Hall in London.
My Lodge meets in this building - not in the Grand Temple I might add.
There used to be a photographic tour on the UGLE website but it's been removed.
Here's a link to a site that has some amateur photo's from the tour available to the public, including the exterior of the building.

I can confirm as my Worthy Brother has said that is the main Hall at Great Queen street.
Most of the Provincal Grand Lodges in The Home Counties have their Annual Installation meeting there.
Bur I don't know if he will agree the best hall is the Egyptian Room at the other end of the building.

Hello Brother Bill,
Strangely enough I was in the Egyptian room for the first time a month or so ago for an LOI.
I think I agree the Egyptian room is the best - clever use of lighting in the alcoves if I remember.
Lodge Room No.1 (I think) has quite an aura too, due to the portraits of past Grand Masters looking down on you.
Almost un-nerving enough to put me off my ritual.
