Lord's, Cricket field in St John's Wood, London, England

Lord's is a cricket ground in St John's Wood, Westminster, northwest London, owned by Marylebone Cricket Club. The field slopes about 2.49 m from the Grand Stand in the north down to the Tavern and Mound Stands in the south. Stands include the Pavilion, Warner Stand, Grand Stand, Compton Stand, Media Centre, Edrich Stand, Mound Stand, Tavern Stand and Allen Stand.

Thomas Lord moved the ground to its present location in 1814 after two earlier relocations in Marylebone and Regent's Park. The Victorian pavilion was built later in the 19th century and became the architectural centerpiece of the venue.

The Victorian pavilion remains the most important space for members who gather during match intervals. Its long rooms and club areas still follow a formal etiquette that emphasizes the traditional character of this sport in English life.

Access is through the main entrance on St John's Wood Road, and visitors will find orientation maps at several points inside the grounds. Accessible areas are located in different stand sections, and signage helps locate facilities and exits.

Lord's holds the world's oldest sporting museum, and its collection was built up after a fire in 1825 destroyed the original pavilion along with MCC's records and archives. The ground's pronounced slope drops about 2.49 metres from the Grand Stand in the north to the Tavern and Mound Stands in the south, so bowlers at the Pavilion End bowl downhill.
