Grace Gates, Grade II listed gates at Lord's Cricket Ground, London, United Kingdom.

The Grace Gates feature two pairs of cast iron gates with cricket ball motifs and three stumps with an urn on top of Portland stone pillars.

Architect Herbert Baker designed these memorial gates in 1923 to honor English cricketer W. G. Grace, who influenced the development of the sport until 1915.

The gates mark the primary entrance for Marylebone Cricket Club members, representing a long-standing tradition in British sporting heritage at Lord's Cricket Ground.

Located on St John's Wood Road in Westminster, the entrance includes separate doors on each side that allow pedestrian access to the cricket grounds.

The central pillar displays a carved wreath containing the initials WGG, accompanied by an inscription that commemorates William Gilbert Grace's contribution to cricket.
