Lord's Cricket Ground

I had the chance to visit Lord’s Cricket Ground back in 2012, and it was an unforgettable experience. The moment I stepped in, I could feel the history and tradition of the game. The Pavilion, the Media Centre, and the beautifully maintained ground all lived up to the title of being the “Home of Cricket.” Even after all these years, I still remember the atmosphere – calm yet full of pride, with staff who were welcoming and helpful. The museum, with treasures like the Ashes urn, was a real highlight. Visiting Lord’s was like walking through cricketing history, and it remains one of the most memorable parts of my trip to London. A must-visit for anyone who loves the game.

For me, a tour of the 'Lords' was fulfillment of an almost six decades old dream.... ever since I learned about this 'home of cricket' when I was just about 8 years old cricket enthusiast. Thanks to my daughter, who organized it during our recent visit to London. The entire tour was an emotional experience, right from the museum, the Father Time Wall, the Long Room, the players' dessing rooms, the famous balconies, and of course the ground itself. The entire tour was meticulously planned, and the lady guide was very knowledgeable and pleasant. From the heritage pavilion to the modern media center, it was an incredible experience to have a feel of this great and beautiful cricket ground. After the tour, we had our lunch at the famous Lord's Tavern. A must visit for every cricket lover/ enthusiast.

An unforgettable day at Lord's truly the paradise of cricket lovers! The atmosphere was electric, and watching a match at this iconic ground is a dream come true. The hospitality was top-class, with attentive staff and smooth service throughout. The food was surprisingly delicious with great variety a perfect companion to the game. Highly recommnend visiting for any cricket fan it's more than just a match, it's an experience!

I had the chance to watch Day 3 of the India vs England Test match at Lord’s, and it absolutely lived up to its reputation as the Mecca of cricket. The atmosphere was electric, with passionate fans from both sides adding to the thrill of the game. Lord’s is steeped in history and tradition, and being there felt like stepping into cricketing royalty. The ground was immaculately maintained, the seating offered great views, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout. Facilities were clean, queues were well-managed, and there was a good variety of food and drink. Everything was well-organised despite the large crowd. An unforgettable day at one of the most iconic sporting venues in the world. A must-visit for every cricket lover!

​A tour of Lord's Cricket Ground is an unforgettable experience for any fan of the sport or history. Walking through this hallowed stadium, known as the "Home of Cricket," you can truly feel its immense historical significance. The highlight was visiting the dressing rooms, where the palpable energy of the legends who have passed through is almost tangible. Standing in the same spot where Kapil Dev and his team celebrated their historic 1983 World Cup victory is a moment I won't forget. This tour is an absolute must for all cricket enthusiasts and history buffs alike.

I recently had the pleasure of taking the Lord's Cricket Ground tour, and it exceeded all expectations! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was electric, and the staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Our guide, who was clearly passionate about cricket, took us through the history of this iconic venue with captivating stories and fascinating facts. The tour included access to the famous Long Room, the Pavilion, and even the dressing rooms – areas steeped in history that cricket fans can only dream of seeing up close. The highlights were definitely standing on the hallowed turf of the pitch and soaking in the incredible atmosphere of one of the most prestigious grounds in the world. If you're a cricket fan, this tour is an absolute must. It was an unforgettable experience and a perfect way to learn about the sport’s rich history while enjoying the beauty of Lord's. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting London or looking to get a true feel for the spirit of cricket. Would give it more than 5 stars if I could!

Best of mid summer weather in London, 24 July 2025, watching India v England on day 5 + game in the balance. What more can anyone want? Well, the game turned out to be a cat and mouse affair of remarkable proportions. You have to understand cricket to fully gauge the enormity of the efforts of both teams today - England eventually won by a tiny margin , despite the valiant efforts of the Indian lower order. Game lost but hearts won at this magnificent cricket ground. Excellent facilities for restrooms food and drink. Plenty of variety in food and drink , prices are higher than elsewhere but not extortionate. You are allowed to bring your food hampers and drinks, so you can picnic on the cheap if you want. The ground also has impressive training areas, lawns to sit and munch your lunch. The place is obviously very historical and houses much memorabilia inside and outside. There is a lovely wall with plaques and displays of key moments in it's history. I also love the brick arches supporting the main part of the stadium is built on. The whole stadium has been refurbished and rebuilt in many phases, so is not of any consistent design, though the old pavilion, new media unit and two corners don't look too out of place. They don't allow flags or musical instruments (silly toffs) so the atmosphere is less abuzz than other grounds, but if the game is as exciting as this one, then we can stomach it. Make it to this ground at least once in your life. Have a walk around the stadium once inside and soak up the atmosphere. You won't regret it.

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.
