Lord's Cricket Ground

About

Lord’s Cricket Ground, affectionately known as “The Home of Cricket,” sits in London’s St John’s Wood and remains the oldest and most iconic test venue in the world. Built in 1787 by Thomas Lord and now owned by the historic Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), the ground continually hosts world‑class matches, ranging from domestic county fixtures to international Tests and the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup. While the historic Pavilion, Long Room, and the famed 6‑foot slope provide unrivalled heritage and cultural experiences, the modern Media Centre and the recently unveiled Digital Ticketing Hub—available exclusively through the Lord’s App—offer visitors seamless, cashless access to every match. A visit to Lord’s blends sport, history, and cutting‑edge technology, with guided tours of the MCC Museum, Strolls through Harris and Coronation Gardens, and a chance to explore the iconic “Heather” gates. Whether you’re a cricket aficionado, a history buff, or simply looking to experience a timeless sporting landmark, Lord’s delivers an unforgettable journey steeped in tradition and innovation.
