Lord's

Lord's Cricket Ground, better known as Lord's, is a cricket venue at St John's Wood, historically in Middlesex and now in the City of Westminster, London NW8. Named after its founder, Thomas Lord, it is owned by Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) and serves as the home of Middlesex County Cricket Club, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), ICC Europe and, until August 2005, the International Cricket Council (ICC). Lord's is widely referred to as the "home of cricket" and houses the world's oldest sporting museum. Lord's today is not on its original 18th-century site; it is the third of three grounds which Thomas Lord established between 1787 and 1814. His first ground, now referred to as Lord's Old Ground, was where Dorset Square now stands. Lord's Middle Ground was in use from 1811 to 1813, before being abandoned for the construction of Regent's Canal which carved its way through the outfield. Lord's present ground is about 250 yards (230 m) north-west of the previous Middle Ground site. The ground can hold 31,100 spectators, its capacity increasing between 2017 and 2022 as part of MCC's ongoing redevelopment plans.
