The Hundred London Transport Guide: The Oval and Lord’s

London’s two Hundred teams play at very different grounds — MI London (formerly Oval Invincibles) at the Oval in Kennington, and London Spirit at Lord’s in St John’s Wood. Pick your venue below for the routes, the fastest way home, and the step-free options at that ground.

Every way in, ranked

Tap any line to expand the step-by-step. Green = best pick, amber = mixed, red = avoid.

Buffer is start of play minus 45 minutes at both grounds. The Hundred draws family-heavy, full crowds for its evening fixtures, so the same margin applies whichever ground you’re headed to.

Driving from either ground
Both are inside the ULEZ with no visitor parking. Public transport is faster in every direction.

Step-free & accessible

Neither Oval nor St John’s Wood station is step-free. For the Oval, use Vauxhall (fully step-free, 10-minute walk); for Lord’s, use Marylebone (step-free, 15-minute walk) or the 189/13 bus routes.

Both grounds provide accessible seating and facilities, arranged in advance — through Surrey County Cricket Club for the Oval, and the MCC for Lord’s.
