  Lord's Cricket Ground - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lord's Cricket Ground is a cricket ground in St John's Wood in London, at grid reference TQ268827.
Lord's today is not the original site, which was used by MCC during the summers of 1811, 1812 and 1813 before being abandoned due to the construction, through its outfield, of the Regent's Canal.
Lord's also often plays host to the second semi-final or the third quarter-final (as well as the overall final) of a County series or championship, as well as the final of the National Village Cricket Competition.

 Lords Cricket Ground - Things to do in London - All in London
Lords Cricket Ground is named after Thomas Lord, a fine bowler who was approached to establish a flat and fair ground for the increasingly popular elitist sport of the mid seventeen hundreds.
The wicket was prepared before a match by allowing a sheep to graze the wicket- though Lords were one of the first to invest in a mowing machine and the ground established its first grounds man in 1864.
Lords is the home to Middlesex County Cricket Club and the MCC Library and museum are a popular attraction for visitors and hold the Ashes Urn and Wisden Trophy.

 Lord's Cricket Ground - Icons of England
Lord’s Cricket Ground in London’s St John’s Wood is the undisputed home of cricket, not just in England, but across the world.
Owned by Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), the ground is named after a Yorkshireman, Thomas Lord, who went to London to establish a private cricket ground in 1787.
The ground is well-known for its sloping pitches – the north-west side is a full eight feet higher than the south-east side – and players must tailor their game to fit its idiosyncrasies.

When Australia thrashed England at the first Ashes Test at the Lords Cricket Ground in London it did not take a brave man to predict that the series would more than likely be a 5-0 drubbing to the visitors.
The view had hardly changed when the second test began at the Edgbaston ground in Birmingham, but none of the spectators knew that the home side had a bit of a different script.
At the end of an astounding day for English cricket, the team was all out, but had managed to score 407 runs on the first day, the highest total for England on the first day of a test since before the Second World War.
