The Oval, Cricket stadium in Kennington, London, England
The Oval features a distinctive pavilion, multiple seating arrangements, and modern facilities spread across its substantial grounds in South London.
Established in 1845, the venue made history by hosting England's first Test cricket match in 1880 against Australia, leading to the creation of the Ashes.
The stadium holds signed cricket bats from international players in its dressing rooms and maintains a museum displaying the world's oldest cricket equipment.
Located near the Oval Underground station, the stadium provides guided tours starting at £20, allowing access to members' areas and media facilities.
During World War II, the grounds transformed from housing anti-aircraft searchlights into serving as a prisoner-of-war camp before returning to sports.
