Cricket

London is home to two of the biggest & oldest Cricket Grounds in the world in Lords (www.lords.org) and The Oval

•Lords is the home of cricket with the MCC (Marleybone Cricket Club) remaining arbiter of cricketing law. Founded in 1787 it is steeped in history, contains a fascinating museum and has witnessed a litany of remarkable matches.

• The Oval Cricket ground is actually owned by the Duchy of Cornwall, also known as the Prince of Wales and is leased by him to Surrey Cricket Club. It has been in use since 1846 and hosted the first home test match between England & Australia in 1880.
