Before you read on, here are some things to be aware of before arriving at the ground on a matchday to make entry to the ground as smooth as possible.

Firstly, make sure you have the latest version of The Hundred app. One way to make sure you have the latest version is to uninstall and reinstall it. Secondly, have your tickets ready in The Hundred app. Make sure you are logged in to the app before you arrive at the ground. If you’re logged in, and you’ve downloaded your tickets in advance, they will appear in the app without needing mobile or wifi connectivity.

Finally, get to the ground as early as you can. Bag checks are in operation, so there may be queues at the gate. Have your tickets open in The Hundred app before you approach the gate. Gates open 90 minutes before play starts.

FOOD & DRINK

There's a range of food and drink outlets within the ground to suit all tastes. Options available include Gluten-Free (GF), Vegan (VE), Vegetarian (V), Kids Options (K) and Halal (H).

A wide selection of alcoholic, low alcohol, and non-alcoholic beverages will be available for purchase at stalls around the ground. 

Please note that Lord’s is a cashless venue and only card payment will be taken. You can also bring in your own picnic which you can enjoy at one of our picnic locations or the Coronation Garden. 

Ticket holders are not permitted to bring in any alcoholic drinks to the Ground (which is a variation to the MCC Ground Regulations). If you are an MCC Member or Debenture Holder you may still bring alcohol into the Ground but please enter via the Grace Gate. 

With 25 water fountains at Lord’s, spectators are encouraged to bring their own refillable bottles to top-up around the ground. 

The Lord’s Tavern pub is open and serving food and drinks throughout the day.

A number of bike racks are available outside the Ground for cyclists to lock their bikes to.

There are several Cycle Hire docking stations within five minutes’ walk of the Ground, on Abbey Road, St John’s Wood Road, Wellington Road, Lodge Road, Lisson Grove and Prince Albert Road.

St John’s Wood is the closest tube station to the ground (approximately five minutes’ walk), while Baker Street, Warwick Avenue, Marylebone and Edgware Road are all also within 15 minutes’ walk.

Visitors travelling to and from central London are advised to alight or board Underground services at Baker Street station and follow a signed walking route at street level. During major events at Lord’s, St John’s Wood station is very busy and a queuing system to enter the station post-match will be in place.

Kilburn (Jubilee line) - Number 189 bus from stop B (on Shoot-up Hill)

The 139 and 189 routes run adjacent to Lord's on Grove End Road (to the west of the Ground). These routes stop closest to the Grace Gate, but are a short walk from the Heyhoe Flint and North Gates.
