Facts

History

  • Thomas Lord opened his first ground in 1787 on what is now Dorset Square; the present St John's Wood site was first used in 1814.
  • The Pavilion, designed by Thomas Verity, opened in 1890 and is Grade II* listed.
  • India won the 1983 World Cup final here, beating West Indies by 43 runs under Kapil Dev.

Did you know?

  • The field slopes: the north-west side is 8 feet 2 inches higher than the south-east side.
  • The honours boards list Test centuries and five-wicket hauls at Lord's – yet Sachin Tendulkar never made it on to them.
