About Lord's
Lord's Cricket Ground in London, England, is universally regarded as the Home of Cricket and the most prestigious cricket venue in the world. Established in 1814 and owned by the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) - the guardians of the Laws of Cricket - Lord's has hosted Test cricket since 1884, including multiple Ashes series, ICC World Cup finals, and historic bilateral encounters.
The famous Long Room, the sloping playing surface, the red-brick Warner Stand, and the iconic Media Centre make Lord's architecturally unique. Every cricketer considers a Lord's hundred or a five-wicket haul here as the pinnacle of their career, and the ground continues to attract cricket fans from across the globe to pay homage to the sport's spiritual home.
