Dorset Square, Marylebone

Image: © Stephen McKay Taken: 17 Jan 2007

This attractive square, between Gloucester Place and Marylebone Station, was the site of the original Lord's cricket ground, established here in 1787 by Thomas Lord. The cricket later moved out to its present home in St John's Wood, but the Marylebone connection is remembered in the MCC (Marylebone Cricket Club) name. The square is named after the Duke of Dorset, a patron of cricket.
