Reasons to go

  • Founded in 1814, Lord's is the home of the Marylebone Cricket Club and one of the sport's oldest surviving grounds.
  • The tour takes visitors through the wood-panelled Long Room and into the players' dressing rooms, spaces normally reserved for match participants.
  • Access to areas like the Long Room can be restricted around match days, since the ground remains an active cricket venue rather than a static museum.
