Lord’s Cricket Ground are excited to announce the redevelopment of the historic Allen Stand has begun, just a few days after the last international of the season at the Home of Cricket.

This project will recreate the distinct presence of the current stand, while significantly improving on its comfort, facilities and accessibility for Members and guests. ​The new Allen Stand will deliver:

• Increased capacity and accessibility: The new stand will add 190 seats, increasing total capacity to 806. ​It will include eight wheelchair-accessible seats and 28 seats for ambulant disabilities, with improved access via two lifts and two staircases. ​
• Enhanced facilities: The stand will feature pitch-facing bars on all three levels, a 60-seat café, and modern washrooms at every level.​ The Middlesex Room will be recreated, and the much-loved Members’ bridge to the Pavilion will be restored. ​
• Sustainability: Solar panels will be installed as part of MCC’s commitment to achieving Net Zero Carbon by 2030. ​The project is designed to meet BREEAM “Excellent” standards.
• Preserving heritage: Historic features, including the original “Q” sign and the bust of Sir George “Gubby” Allen, will be incorporated into the new design. ​
