Can anyone help me locate where I can find the records of the Rechabites, friendly society. My grandfather was a member circa 1908-1910

According to wikipedia -
The archives of the Independent Order of Rechabites have been deposited at Senate House Library, University of London. Some archives are also held by the Archives of the University of Glasgow (GUAS). Numerous archives of branches are held at local record offices.
