Lord's Cricket Ground

A must visit if you are a cricket fan or love watching the sport. The tour we booked was immensely educative and our guide walked us through history right from when this stadium was constructed and how it was governed all the way to the players room and media centre and the field itself. Videos are restricted in most parts except in the open field viewing areas. Photos would never do justice to this place and it’s ought to be felt in person - whether you book the tour or watch a match, either way you would feel the historical weight this place carries. It’s not just a stadium, it is The Home Of Cricket! Interesting facts: 1️⃣ Lord’s stadium is the only stadium which has the cricketers walk onto the field from amongst the crowd. Though that “crowd” consists of only Club members and player’s family members. 🏏 2️⃣ the waiting list to be a member of this stadium’s club is 29 years! 🤯

Hands down the best cricket experience I've ever had. I've been to many international games and stadiums but this experience just stands out. Beautiful stadium, though old but so exquisitely maintained. So many food options, swag shops, equipped with nice and clean facilities. There is a museum as well for which you need separate tickets and have to come on a non-game day. Must recommend 👌 British fans are such a vibe 😘

I had the privilege of watching the India vs. England Test match at Lord’s Cricket Ground, and it was an unforgettable experience. Lord’s, known as the “Home of Cricket,” is a historic venue with a classic and elegant atmosphere. The iconic Pavilion and traditional stands add to the charm and prestige of the ground. The views from my front seat were excellent. The energy from the crowd was palpable, with passionate fans enhancing the excitement of the game. The facilities were first-rate, and the overall ambiance made for a memorable day of cricket. Experiencing a high-stakes Test match at such a legendary venue was truly special.

Visiting Lord’s Cricket Ground was an absolute dream come true! As a lifelong cricket fan, being at the place where cricket was born was an incredible experience. The ground is not only historic but also beautifully maintained and well-organized. Every moment spent here was special, from soaking in the atmosphere to exploring the facilities. The staff were helpful, and the entire experience was smooth and enjoyable. Whether you’re a cricket enthusiast or just visiting London, Lord’s is a must-see! I loved every moment of my visit and can’t wait to return.

A visit to Lord's Cricket Ground, the "Mecca of Cricket," is an absolute must for any cricket lover. I had the pleasure of taking a guided tour, which was brilliantly conducted by Mr. Jeff. His deep knowledge and passion for the history of cricket made the experience truly memorable. He provided fascinating insights into the rich history of both the sport in the UK and this iconic venue. The Lord's Cricket Museum is a treasure trove of cricket memorabilia, holding an impressive collection that will captivate any cricket enthusiast. The overall experience was both educational and inspiring, giving me a newfound appreciation for the heritage of the sport. Highly recommend visiting this historic arena – it's a pilgrimage for anyone passionate about cricket!

A visit to Lord’s cricket ground is must when you are in London. It’s little far from Central London but you can use tube to reach this place. If you are a cricket fan you must go n visit this place as it’s a different experience all together. To know the history of cricket and story on the ashes is very interesting to know….museum’s are also very good

Standing at Lord's Cricket Ground, the "Home of Cricket," evokes a deep sense of history and reverence, especially for Indian cricket fans. This is the sacred ground where India clinched its first-ever Cricket World Cup in 1983, an unforgettable moment that changed the nation's sporting legacy forever. As you walk through the iconic stands and gaze at the lush green field, there’s an overwhelming sense of pride and nostalgia. The energy of that historic victory lingers in the air, reminding every visitor of the passion and triumph that echoed from this hallowed ground on that glorious day.

What a place and what a vibe. Visited Lord’s to watch the SL vs ENG test match series and I was very much excited to see both my teams play. Managed to get myself a few autographs from my favourite cricketers as well. There’s loads of different food and drink options along with water dispensers everywhere. Toilets are clean and well maintained. I would advise bringing a Hat or an Umbrella during summer as the sun can be pretty harsh. Overall it was a very pleasant experience and I can’t wait for my next visit.

Great day at an ICC Cricket World Cup game here. Seating is all close to the action. Our seating was all stairs access which was not a problem. Plenty of toilets so no lines when I visited several times. Several food and drink options BUT all had varying lengths of lines. Some took a few minutes and others were 20 people long! There were only a few places to sit and eat and all were taken. The entry into the ground was quick after a 5 minute walk from John Wood Tube Station. The ground was very clean. The only downside there was we were standing eating and several young males walked up drink and then just all started smoking. I suggest they make some very select smoking areas away from everyone else. My 8yr old didn't need to breath all that smoke in nor did I. The Lords museum was great and well worth a visit. We had a quick visit during the game and there is a lot of cricket history in there. All of the staff at Lords were all very polite. I had some pre-arranged business with the cricket team members at the end of the game and the Lords management bent over backwards to help us. In all one of the nicest cricket grounds I've been to around the world. It's not the MCG for sure but for what it is, the home of Cricket its an awesome place.

I don't like how, whenever someone catches the ball and gets you out, that person then Lords it over everyone else. But it is a much lauded stadium, and rightly so. My friend Amjad took me with his family to a cricket game here a long time ago. It was absolutely awesome. The ground was a little quiet and polite for my tastes, but we had a lovely day out. I've been back once very recently to show my gf around the place. It is the home of British cricket and the biggest cricket ground in the country. I'm not a cricket fan, and while I do think this is an excellent stadium by any standards, I can't help but think that if this is the crown jewel of cricket, then perhaps cricket is not as much of a big deal as BBC Sports would have you believe. To me cricket is a reminder of the empire and of the rich of England, and so I could never really get into it or give it a 5.

The home of the MCC and the HQ of British cricket, this venue is guaranteed a Test match each summer, which was a bit of a problem to the England cricket team due to their poor record there. Fortunately, England broke their jinx against Australia here this summer as part of their Ashes-winning performance - their previous win at Lord's had come in 1934!!! Cricket is one of those games with one foot in history and tradition (and not a little chauvinism with ladies only recently being allowed in the Long Room) and the other in the modern TV sporting eye with debates about the use of technology, the spirit of the game and trying to preserve Test cricket in the face of increasingly popular 20Twenty cricket For the spectator, Lord's tends to produce exciting matches with results in a lot of games here rather than draws. There's the famous slope which can flummox inexperienced bowlers To balance the view of old fashioned MCC members dressed up in their suits and ties, there is the stunning media centre. Having watched Men in Black, I do wonder whether like the Space Needle, aliens have hidden their getaway spaceship in plain view! Over!

I have been a life long Cricket fan. I have played Cricket as a school boy and a college kid. I continue playing it at a local club in my city. As a die hard cricket fan, I had to visit this ground once in my life. Lords is a mecca of cricket. Lords cricket ground management holds ground tour three times a day when there is no game. For tourists, getting there is not easy. The closest underground station is 20-25 minutes away. I was loaded with 40 lb backpack and a laptop- with this load on my back it was a challenging to get there. I recommend others to take taxi after getting off at Baker Street or Marylebone underground especially if you have heavy backpack. The tour is really interesting. It talks about Ashes history and some of the art work in the beginning. It also talks about 'Real Tennis'- tennis+squash mix type game. The tour takes everybody to the MCC members room and then to the cricketers' dressing room- where it becomes really interesting. In the end the tour takes everybody to the stand and media room. We were able to take pictures only from stands. Photography is prohibited at all interiors.

Wow. Loving the architecture in Lords cricket ground. Toilets- not so impressed. I guess only men used to go see cricket, so there are not that many toilets for the girls- and they didn't flush properly. Anyhoe, I have never seen a cricket match, live or telly, so I was a real cricket virgin. From the purchasing of booze and food at the tesco near by; the super duper strict millitary grade bag check (I ran away with my 2 bottles of beer) to the amazingness of the media centre; "posh" sports ground food and about 5 different Lords "paraphernalia" shops, I was blown away before the game even started. Granted, it was very sunny when I went, but I have not had such a chilled afternoon for a long time. My only caveat is that no one told me that you should go to the loo before the interval began- when you come back after game has started, they make you wait for ages before they let you in, so I missed the first 2 (rather unimpressive overs) The boys kept teasing me and told me that there as going to be a bear or something at the interval, but what Lords need is a) mid game cheerleading b) people going around the stands selling inflated price products. Not sure it is something i'd do again as I wasn't so keen on the whole cricket thing, but overall, a quintessentially English experience. Also, it is great to sit underneath the alien ship of a media centre, but it does mean that you get rained on if it starts raining (gee this is england!) as it is the only side of the stands that doesn't have an awning on it.

Come experience some real England! While showing an American friend around the area very recently, I was extolling the virtues of how good Lord's was in comparison to other cricket venues. The response that I got? "What is cricket?" After that I spent half an hour trying to explain - The rules. The attire. The traditions. The food and drink that one should consume while this is all happening. The timescale needed to accomplish a full cricket game. Eventually, I distilled it to this - "it's like baseball with flat bats, no commercials and it takes days and days to finish the match". I was even asked if I ever played cricket was at school. I replied that I enjoyed playing cricket until the point that I was forced to share a communal "box" with the other boys. If you do not know what a cricket box is. Look it up. The unique experience of a cricket game should really be attended to be fully understood. Lord's truly is the best place to watch it. Bottom line - go pay it a visit!

AWESOME. Well, I was in awe, anyway. And I challenge anyone with even the slightest interest in cricket and its history to go and say they are not impressed. Actually, that's a bit of a weird challenge, now that I think about it. But with three paragraphs written already and another in progress, and with the message still just, 'it's good,' I hope you see just how good it is in my opinion. I'm biased, being an avid follower of the game, but it really is something to behold, Lord's. The atmosphere, the size of it, the drama, the excitement of being at a live match, the facilities, the history. Even the clientele, branded upper class, are pleasant, friendly, and up for a really good day out. Go. Just for a day. It costs no more than a Premiership football match. Go and see what you make of it before you label cricket as a boring game which can be drawn after five whole days.

It was a revelation when I attended my first baseball game in the States this summer and found myself being proffered beer, pretzels and other snacks on the concourse behind where the action takes place. Odd too to discover I wasn't, as in a British football ground, confined to my seat. There was space to roam free, do the conga, whatever. So imagine my amazement when I discovered soon afterwards that all of these pleasures had been available right on my doorstep. Lords, billed as the home of cricket, is criticised by some for only allowing punters in with suitable dress and drink strictly wine inside. I, however, found this to be a liberating cultural experience, a million miles from the stale and anonymous chain-store feel that Premiership football has taken on for fans. Then there is the architecture. The media centre, built on the side of Lords in 1999 by Norman Foster, has been rightly lauded as a triumph of combining a modern approach with an existing traditional building. Its not like Foster was subtle - the bulbous white creation looks like some globule-shaped flying saucer attempting to touch down on the hallowed Lords turf. Its all part of the fun. I can't recommend a match day visit to Lords enough, particularly if you are a) non-English or b) unaccustomed to the many vagaries of the mysterious game of cricket. The possibilities for anthropological comment (and wine quaffing) are endless.

Reminiscent of a spaceship, the Lord's Cricket Ground stands out from a distance due to it's expansive media center. However, this futuristic cricket club is also well known for much much more! It was host to the 1999 Cricket World Cup and has been a playing ground for the best cricket players. There's a Marylebone Cricket Club or MCC Museum on site that pays homage to the history of the sport. I went here for a tour and was surprised by the expansive size of the grounds and the playing field. You'll want to dress smartly as the club is very sophisticated, yet affordable!

What can I say? Lord's is clearly not some unknown cafe that deems a Yelp! Review to help others find out about it. Quite simply, Lord's is THE home of cricket, and comes as close to an epicentre of quintessential Englishness that it's possible to get. Whilst international test matches capture the best atmosphere of Lord's, it's well worth coming for a day of county cricket, with Middlesex the home side. £15 (summer 2010) gets you into the home of cricket for the day and able to sit anywhere you like. For those who want to experience a great day of cricket and one of the most iconic emblems of English cultural identity, you'd be hard pushed to do better than come and visit this grand old lady.

Lord's Cricket Ground, generally known as Lord's, is a cricket venue in St John's Wood, London. Named after its founder, Thomas Lord, it is owned by Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) and is the home of Middlesex County Cricket Club, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), the European Cricket Council (ECC) and, until August 2005, the International Cricket Council (ICC). Lord's is widely referred to as the "Home of Cricket" and is home to the world's oldest sporting museum. Monday's visit made even better by a £20 admission fee for the final day of the first test against NZ

I play indoor cricket at the practice facility and it's one of my favourite things to do in London. The comps generally have a charity focus, raising funds type thing but there is no charity on the pitch. That said the game is played in a tough but fair spirit and all ranges of talent levels can be seen having a go. If you ever get the chance to have a game there I would wholeheartedly recommend it.

Just another example of great sports venue. Wonderful cricket here, great staff and prices that can be afforded. Nice day out!!!!!

It is one off if not the best cricket grounds I have been at. The views are spectacular the range of food from fine dinning to fish and chips it has something for everyone. The history is great. Not only cricket , but also a tennis court , museum past players Every thing for the cricket and gourmet fan would recommend.

A fantastic cricket ground, If you like watching cricket on TV, you'll love watching it live here ! An amazing experience, great fun !! The staff were excellent but found the shop a bit to expensive, £15 for a cap, Really ???,

I've never been to a cricket game here but I have been to an event at the bar which was all rather lovely. I'm not exactly a fan of cricket but if I was invited along to came this is here I'd want to see it, obviously.

Quite simply the very best sports venue I have ever visited. I've been going there regularly and often since childhood, but nowadays (even though charming bits like the old printer's window and sweet shop behind the Mound Stand have gone) it has become a world-class venue with world-class staff and facilities. It could have rested on its laurels as the home of cricket but keeps improving while retaining its character. And of course, it stages the biggest games in the best sport that God or man have ever invented.
