An instantly identifiable icon at the home of our national game

Comment on Lord's Cricket Ground
If Lords is an icon then why not the Oval, or Trent Bridge or any other first class cricket ground? There is justification for suggesting that cricket might be an icon of England but not one of many places where it's played. An icon should be something which springs to some people's minds when they think of England or the English; cricket just might, I doubt that Lords would.

The Lord's pavilion is a place where manners and standards are still maintained. A haven from a society in decline.

I would add, too, that in marked contrast to so many sporting venues, where the bars serve undrinkable chemical fizz with foreign-sounding names, Lord's Long Room bar serves those proper beers from those iconic London Brewers, Fuller's and Young's.

Lord's is a wonderful ground with the pavilion at on end and the media centre at the other. The long room is a stunning place. I could not think of a better sporting icon than the home of cricket.

Lord's is the ultimate English sporting stadium for the quintissential English sport. It is a juxtaposition of Victorian and modern architecture - as so many of our towns and cities are - and yet is resolutely beautiful. It is eccentically designed and layed out - the ground slopes from one side to the other and the Media center is raised so that the MCC Members can still see the plane trees from the pavilion. Either despite or because of its foibles it has a magic and an aura that is impossible to replicate. There is no finer place to spend time with friends on a warm summer's day watching the best players play the best game ever invented.

What could be more English than the Lord's Test matches each summer, especially when the Queen visits and meets both sets of players?

Many memorable moments of national pride as national and county teams reign victorious at this marvellous looking cricket ground.

The Media Centre at Lord's has become the defining image of the headquarters of English cricket. It appears on our screens whenever the TV cameras are at Lord's for major matches. Cricket being the quintessential English game, the Media Centre must be one of the icons of England.
