About England v Pakistan, 2nd Test — Lord's

The second Test between England and Pakistan brings five days of cricket to Lord's, London's most storied ground, drawing large crowds who need to get to and from St John's Wood each morning and evening. Picking the right base affects how easy those daily trips are, especially with match-day transport getting busy.

Where to stay nearby

Lord's sits in north-west London, so most visitors will be choosing a base somewhere across the wider city rather than a single dedicated 'match town'. Here's how the three nearest options compare for getting to the ground and finding a room.

London — about 4 km away

As the closest base and by far the largest hotel market, London offers the most choice for every budget and puts you within easy reach of Lord's via the London Underground, with St John's Wood on the Jubilee line a short walk from the ground.

Chelsea — about 5 km away

Chelsea is a compact, well-heeled option just slightly further out, with a small number of hotels; getting to Lord's typically means a bus or a tube journey with a change, so allow a bit more time on match days.

Brentford — about 11 km away

Brentford is the furthest of the three and has the smallest hotel selection, making it a fallback rather than a first choice; reaching Lord's from here means a longer trip by train or car, so it suits those happy to travel a bit further for a quieter or cheaper stay.

About Lord's Cricket Ground

The self-styled home of cricket, Lord's is a genteel, tradition-steeped ground in leafy St John's Wood, north-west London, hosting Test matches, one-day internationals and the county game beneath its famous Media Centre. The surrounding streets are handsome and residential, with Regent's Park and the boutiques of St John's Wood High Street close by.

St John's Wood on the Jubilee line puts the West End within easy reach. Booking a room nearby means a civilised stroll to the cricket and a quiet base away from the city's bustle.
