Lord's Cricket Ground, generally known as Lord's, is a cricket venue in St John's Wood, north London, and was opened in 1814. It is named after its founder, Thomas Lord, and is owned by Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC).

The present ground is the third of three established by Lord between 1787 and 1814. His first, now referred to as Lord's Old Ground, was where Dorset Square now stands. His second, Lord's Middle Ground, was used from 1811 to 1813 before it had to be abandoned. It was on the route of the Regent's Canal, then under construction.[1]

Lord's stages international and county cricket on a regular basis. It staged its first Test match in July 1884. England play at least one Test at Lord's every year, in addition to other international matches. Middlesex County Cricket Club is a long-term tenant at Lord's, and its team use the ground for most of their home matches in the County Championship and other domestic competitions. The ground has a seating capacity of 31,100.[2]
