This revered ancient cricket ground has been the site of many a historic victory and many more England batting collapses. While Lord's has long been seen as the "home of cricket" and the game's spiritual headquarters, its importance does not lie merely in its historic past. It hosts many important matches, including the first Test of every international tour, is the home of Middlesex County Cricket Club, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) and the MCC Museum. There is also an excellent guided tour, which explores the history of the ground and the game. It is owned by Marylebone Cricket Club who play about 450 games a year and who take their role as guardian of the laws and spirit of cricket very seriously.
