It is cricket's home, the Mecca of cricket. There are of course other popular cricket grounds too.

Lord's has the best cricketing facilities including the oldest sports museum in the world. It has excellent cricketing facilities and these are well maintained at Lord's which is probably the best cricket ground in the world. The Victorian Pavilion with Long Room came up in 1889 and 1890, a creation of Thomas Verity, the architect.
A lot of Lord's was made again at the end of twentieth century. These included the Mound by Sir Michael Hopkins and Grand Stand by Nicholas Grimshaw and a futuristic Media Center. The Pavilion too was renovated in 2004 and 2005. The stadium's capacity is 32,000 spectators with another 10,000 increase planned.

In case you are still wondering what's all this talk about cricket, you are invited to watch a match at Lord's. The atmosphere at Lord's is electrifying and you must not take our word for it. We are sure you will soon be recounting your own Lord's experience.
