Nearby Street Parking at Lord's
Street parking in and around St John's Wood is restricted on major match days, though Sunday controls differ from weekday ones. Always check the signage on the day, as Lord's Cricket Ground parking rules vary road by road and some residents-only bays are enforced seven days a week.
Top Tips for Street Parking:
Always check signage for "Residents Only" zones and time-limited bays, and note the hours of control shown on the plate
Avoid parking across driveways or in hatched or marked zones
If you're hoping to find unrestricted on-street parking, plan to arrive early and explore roads further from the ground
Remember that a full ODI crowd empties out all at once after stumps, so nearer bays fill quickly
