Scheme set to complete in May 2027

A £60m scheme to increase the capacity of Lord’s cricket ground by more than 1,000 has been approved by planners.

The firm will redevelop the Tavern Stand and demolish and rebuild the Allen Stand.

The Tavern Stand was rebuilt in the 1960s while the Allen Stand is the oldest at Lord’s, dating back to 1935.

The work is part of a wider scheme by Marylebone Cricket Club to increase capacity at the St John’s Wood venue which saw ISG complete the Compton and Edrich stands three years ago.
