The Blavatsky Lodge of the Theosophical Society was organized in London, on May 19, 1887. The inaugural meeting was held in Mme. Blavatsky's small quarters at Maycot, Crownhill, Upper Norwood. The first President was Mr. G. B. Finch.

Eventually, a Theosophical Publishing Company was formed and a Theosophical magazine, the Lucifer, was edited monthly by the Lodge.

In early October, 1887, the Lodge moved to a large house on 17, Lansdowne Road. G. B. Finch resigns his office as President of the Lodge, as well as membership in the Theosophical Society. Other resignations follow. According to Josephine Ransom the main reason for the rift seems to be the determination on the part of the Lodge to carry on public propaganda for Theosophy, as Mme. Blavatsky was directed to do.[1]
