In 1772 the Lodge moved to the Castle Tavern, Henrietta Street, Covent Garden and in 1773 adopted the name Castle Lodge. Later in 1773 the Lodge moved to the Shakespear Tavern, Covent Garden Piazza and was subsequently renamed Shakespear Lodge. This name has been retained to date despite additional movements of the Lodge: Freemasons Tavern, Great Queen Street; Albion Tavern, Aldersgate Street; Savoy Hotel, Thames Embankment; Princes Restaurant, Piccadilly; Criterion Restaurant, Jermyn Street/ Piccadilly; Hotel Splendide, 105 Piccadilly; No. 96 Piccadilly; The Cafe Royal, 68 Regent Street; The Constitutional Club, St James Street/ St James Palace; Bakers Hall, Harp Lane, Lower Thames Street; and Mark Masons' Hall, 86 St James Street.
