A Test at Lord's. Set down by your gate, and collected by the same chauffeur at close of play.

Lord's sits in a residential grid. There is no public car park inside the ground, the streets around it are residents' bays with additional restrictions on major match days, and St John's Wood Road itself carries the whole crowd on foot from about an hour before play. A car that drops you close to your gate and disappears is worth more here than almost anywhere else in London.

Which gate matters. The Grace Gate on St John's Wood Road is the one most members and hospitality guests use; the North Gate and the Nursery End serve other entrances and different stands. Tell us which gate your ticket names and we will set the approach to suit it, coming in from the side that is not carrying the queue.

Getting away is the reverse problem. At the close of play, or at the end of a day that finishes early to rain or to wickets, several thousand people leave together and St John's Wood station queues out onto the pavement. A car held nearby, at a point agreed in the morning, is the difference between leaving and standing.

A Test is the only fixture in the calendar that might finish a day and a half early or run to the last over on the fifth evening. Clients who come for more than one day tend to book a car for each of them and treat the last as flexible, rather than committing to a rigid plan that the cricket will ignore. Tell us which days you hold tickets for and how you want to handle the fifth, and we will keep it simple.

The Ashes Test sits in the same fortnight as the start of Wimbledon, which puts real pressure on London's cars. If your summer includes both, tell us the whole picture at once and we will plan it as one.
