Welcome to the venue information page for Lord's, home of London Spirit.

Here you can find all the information you need ahead of your matchday, including gate opening times, food & drink, travel options, accessibility provision and on-site facilities.

Sustainability

The green choices available to you on a matchday are highlighted as bold* throughout this page.

Please scroll down to find out more about Food & Drink, Travel, Facilities, Shop, WiFi and matchday reporting.

You can expect to be searched on entry to the venue. Please follow the guidance from stewards and security staff. To speed up entry we suggest you only bring essential items with you and leave bags at home if possible. Help Lord’s to stay safe by staying alert: if something doesn’t look right, tell a steward.

FOOD AND DRINK

2025 food & drink options will be confirmed closer to the start of the competition.

A wide selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages will be available for purchase at stalls around the ground. Please note that only two alcoholic drinks can be purchased per person, per transaction. All public bars will close on Hundred match days 15 mins after the start of the men’s second innings.

Please note that Lord’s is a cashless venue and only card payment will be taken. You can also bring in your own picnic which you can enjoy at one of our picnic locations or the Coronation Garden. 

Ticket holders are not permitted to bring in any alcoholic drinks to the Ground (which is a variation to the MCC Ground Regulations). If you are an MCC Member or Debenture Holder you may still bring alcohol into the Ground but please enter via the Grace Gate. 

With 25 water fountains at Lord’s, spectators are encouraged to bring their own refillable bottles to top-up around the ground. 

The Lord’s Tavern pub is open and serving food and drinks throughout the day.

A number of bike* racks are available outside the ground for cyclists to lock their bikes to.

There are several Cycle Hire docking stations within five minutes’ walk of the ground, on Abbey Road, St John’s Wood Road, Wellington Road, Lodge Road, Lisson Grove and Prince Albert Road.

Whilst St. John’s Wood is the closest Tube station to Lord’s, it is exceptionally busy before and after matches.

Ticketholders are encouraged to use various alternative routes to and from the Ground via Tube stations such as Baker Street, Warwick Avenue, Marylebone and Edgware Road, all of which are no more than a 15-minute walk from Lord’s. 

By Bus

The 13 and 113 bus* routes run adjacent to Lord's on the Wellington Road (to the east of the ground). These stop closest to the North and Heyhoe Flint Gates, but are within a comfortable walking distance to the Grace Gate.

The 139 and 189 routes run adjacent to Lord's on Grove End Road (to the west of the Ground). These routes stop closest to the Grace Gate, but are a short walk from the Heyhoe Flint and North Gates.

By National Rail

The nearest main line railway* station is Marylebone, served by Chiltern Railways, which is approximately ten minutes’ walk from the ground. Marylebone Station is on the Chiltern line.

Paddington Station is approximately 20 minutes’ walk from the Ground, for services to West and South-West England and South Wales.

By Car

We encourage all visitors to use public transport if possible. There are parking restrictions affecting non-residents on the streets surrounding Lord’s and on St John’s Wood High Street on all major match days, so please ensure you do not park in bays which are for residents’ use only.
