Christmas Parties

The famous Long Room - set for dinner You could have Christmas lunch or dinner at one of the most famous venues in world sport, Lord's - 'The Home of Cricket'.

In the historic Pavilion, you could celebrate in the famous Long Room or, for smaller groups, the Writing Room - both with views of the hallowed turf.

Or for a bigger celebration the Thomas Lord Suite can accomodate parties of upto 400. With our own team of highly trained chefs on hand it will be a Christmas treat for the tastebuds.

The Lord's Tavern Bar & Brasserie are taking Christmas bookings now too.
