The tour of Lord's is a must for any cricket fan. To see the Long Room and the rest of the pavilion as well as the media centre is a fantastic experience. And of course the Ashes!
This is such a beautiful cricket ground! It has so much history behind it, mainly because it is said to be the "home of cricket." It was used as an archery range for the 2012 Olympic Games.
The home of cricket. Check out a local county game through the summer or just enjoy a beer in the pub outside. Even if you don't understand the rules of the game, definitely worth a visit.
The ground is owned by the Marylbone Cricket Club and is one of the oldest in the World having been originally built 1787 and is in fact home to the World’s oldest sporting museum.
The oldest regular fixture at the ‘home of cricket’ is the annual Eton vs Harrow schools match, played here since 1818. In the museum you can find the passing bird killed by a cricket shot in 1936.
Bring your food with you. Sarnies, pasta and crisps plus fruit are perfect test match munch and much cheaper than the (rather excellent/expensive) in-ground catering!
Spend a day strolling round the bars, exhibition areas and pavilions of the home of cricket. If you're really organised you might even get to watch a few overs too. Read more
