Cricket has been played at the majestic Ground in NW8, owned by Marylebone Cricket Club, for nearly 200 years. The Ground is used for a variety of international cricket fixtures, as well as being home to MCC and Middlesex County Cricket Club, and now offers a stunning range of event spaces for conferences, meetings and functions.
Housed in the exclusive confines of the Members’ Pavilion, the historic Long Room is home to a series of priceless cricketing art and artefacts including the famous WG Grace portrait. The Long Room provides an unforgettable and inspiring backdrop to lunches, dinners and receptions. Also within the Pavilion the more intimate but equally enchanting Writing Room provides the perfect space for formal dining. Both provide commanding views over the outfield, while alfresco receptions on the Pavilion Roof Terrace are the perfect way to begin your evening.
Media Centre
At the opposite end of the Ground stands the unmistakable structure of the award-winning Media Centre; a testament to Lord’s as one of London’s most progressive, as well as traditional, business destinations. Acting as an international press hub on match days, the Media Centre is a state-of-the-art meetings venue with inspiring views, exciting audio-visual opportunities and a number of tailored breakout rooms. The neighbouring Nursery Pavilion, which accommodates large-scale events of up to 900, provides a distinctive light-filled setting thanks to its floor-to-ceiling windows.
The Lord’s offering is underpinned by an unmatched dedication to food and drink. Head Chef Stephen Smith scrupulously researches menus in order to benefit British fisheries and farms and locally sourced vegetables and fruits are delivered daily. World famous ‘Lord’s Afternoon Tea’ is complemented by the work of media-acclaimed pastry chef Thierry Besselièvre, providing a delightful afternoon break.
