Cricket Venues in London

London is an excellent place to watch cricket, the traditional summer game played throughout Britain. The season lasts from April to September.

Cricket in London

There are two test match venues in London, Lord's and the Oval, which annually play host to England international test matches (five-day games) and limited over matches (one-day games).

England's greatest cricket rivals are Australia, while international games also regularly take place against other countries.

London also has two major domestic teams, Middlesex and Surrey, which play a mixture of matches. Both teams use a number of venues across the capital.
