Welcome to the Theosophy London Сentre

Welcome to the Theosophy London Centre website where you will find details of our activities, the programme of events, study courses, and other resources.

Our aims and ideals

The first aim of Theosophy is to promote the ideal of peaceful brotherhood among humanity, and to form centres for the research, study and practice of the Perennial Wisdom.

Theosophy, as such ancient wisdom, is the knowledge from which sprung the world’s many doctrines and beliefs, which in time became its popular religions, philosophies and sciences.

Its promotes the peaceful coexistence of all nations and races, and shows that this comes most readily through the acquisition of true knowledge; this is why Theosophy embraces lifelong learning and promotes frequent study, its students being of all ages, young and old.

The concepts of Theosophy are simple enough for a child to grasp and appreciate, and in their higher metaphysics are deep enough for the study of many lifetimes.

The Lodge is a free and voluntary association of students and while it is not Masonic in the Western sense, it promotes the ideal and practice of Universal Brotherhood. It teaches the esoteric sciences, Gupta Vidya, and helps all serious enquirers to understand the world’s faiths and to appreciate the nobility of their tenets wherever they are found.

As the ageless wisdom, Theosophy has always been present in the world so that all beings may learn to live intelligent, meaningful and constructive lives, and avoid unnecessary suffering.

All who are interested in exploring these ideals and aims are invited to enquire about the Lodge’s programme.

You may like to review the frequently asked questions as they cover some of the common theosophical questions.

There is also a new page Where to Start? for those new to Theosophy looking for a short course of reading.

H. P. Blavatsky & William Q. Judge

H. P. Blavatsky (“HPB”) and William Q. Judge are widely recognised as the most reliable writers on Theosophy that came from the early and seminal years of the Theosophical Movement.

They were founders of the original Theosophical Society in 1875 and their position as trustworthy proponents of the Wisdom-Tradition was given specific endorsement at the time by the Trans-Himalayan Mahatmas (“the Brothers,” who are Masters of Wisdom) who were behind its founding and guided it in the early years.

The United Lodge of Theosophists was founded in Los Angeles in 1909 by Robert Crosbie, who had been a close and devoted pupil of HPB and Judge and worked closely with them.

The ULT’s primary aims are to restore a focus to the vast body of teachings and knowledge that had been given in the original Theosophical literature and to promote its study and application.

The London UK Lodge of the ULT was established in 1925 by B. P. Wadia, Theodore Crombie and others.


About the ULT & London Centre

The United Lodge of Theosophists is a free and voluntary association of students and the Centre at Robert Crosbie House in Queen’s Gardens, Paddington, welcomes enquirers and questions on Theosophy and its application. Events are always free and no membership is required although those in sympathy with the purposes of the Lodge may wish to become an Associate of the ULT.

From the start of October to end of June every year, the Lodge holds talks and study meetings on Sundays and study groups on Wednesdays. Seminars on topical subjects are held quarterly on Saturdays. During the summer months there is a somewhat reduced programme of meetings.

The January-March 2024 programme is here. All the meetings can be attended in person at the Lodge or joined online, with the exception of Tuesdays and Thursdays, which are online only.
