Lord's
- an inspiration, unless you are English.

To avoid commencing the 2009 Ashes campaign on a losing note England played their first game in Cardiff, Lords is usually the first venue on a home tour. England hung on for a draw at Cardiff and beat Australia at Lord's for the first time in 10,000 years in the second test. Cricket is a funny game. You can learn just how funny on a Lord's Tour.
The Lord’s Cricket Ground Tour allows visitors to go behind the scene of this historic ground. An expert guide will spend over an hour and a half taking you through the history, architecture and current activities of this iconic site.
