Lords Cricket Ground
Lord's Cricket Ground, commonly known as Lord's, is a cricket venue in St John's Wood, London. Named after its founder, Thomas Lord, it is owned by Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) and is the home of Middlesex County Cricket Club, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), the European Cricket Council (ECC) and, until August 2005, the International Cricket Council (ICC). Lord's is widely referred to as the Home of Cricket and is home to the world's oldest sporting museum.
Lord's today is not on its original site; it is the third of three grounds that Lord established between 1787 and 1814. His first ground, now referred to as Lord's Old Ground, was where Dorset Square now stands. His second ground, Lord's Middle Ground, was used from 1811 to 1813 before being abandoned to make way for the construction through its outfield of the Regent's Canal. The present Lord's ground is about 250 yards (230 m) north-west of the site of the Middle Ground. The ground can hold 31, 100 spectators, the capacity having increased between 2017 and 2022 as part of MCC's ongoing redevelopment plans.

This stunning print captures the iconic Lords Cricket Ground, known as the Home of Cricket. Located in St John's Wood, London, this historic venue is named after its founder Thomas Lord and is owned by the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC). It serves as the home ground for Middlesex County Cricket Club, England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), European Cricket Council (ECC), and was previously home to the International Cricket Council (ICC) until 2005. With a rich history dating back to 1787, Lords has witnessed countless memorable cricketing moments. This print showcases its grandeur and significance within the sporting world. Notably, it houses the world's oldest sporting museum, preserving cricket's heritage for future generations. Interestingly, this is not Lord's original site but rather its third location established between 1787 and 1814. The previous grounds were abandoned or repurposed due to various reasons such as urban development like Regent's Canal construction. The present-day Lord's ground stands about 250 yards northwest of its second location. The capacity of this hallowed stadium has increased over time through ongoing redevelopment plans by MCC. Currently capable of accommodating up to 31,100 spectators, Lord's continues to be a cherished destination for cricket enthusiasts from around the globe. This print beautifully encapsulates both the historical significance and architectural splendor that make Lords Cricket Ground an unparalleled symbol of cricketing excellence.
