About Lord’s Cricket Ground

The famous Lord's Cricket Ground in St John's Wood is steeped in history and culture. For many cricketers, competing in a Test at Lord’s Cricket Stadium remains the zenith of their career. While attending a test match at Lord's stadium is on every cricket fan's wish list. Named after its founder, Lord's was inaugurated in 1814 and immediately became the primary location for cricket, the most popular sport of the 19th century. Today's Lord's is the third of three grounds that Lord founded between 1787 and 1814 and it is not located on its original site.


Recognized around the world as the "Home of Cricket," it also houses the world's oldest sporting museum. Lord's was the home of Middlesex County Cricket Club, the European Cricket Council (ECC), and the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB). It was home to the International Cricket Council (ICC) until August 2005. While other international events have overtaken cricket, and the game itself has become overly commercial, Lord's has preserved its charisma.


The MCC museum on the grounds celebrates cricket's history and holds a large collection of cricket-related items, including the Ashes Urn, the most significant cricket artifact. With many photographs, paintings, and other artifacts showcasing cricket's growth as a sport will be fascinating to everyone who loves the game. A Lord's Cricket Ground tour is the best way to enjoy a behind-the-scenes experience at the "home of cricket" and learn about its past under the guidance of an expert.
