    Queue up before change over and get plenty beers to avoid queuing. But you can bring in as much food as you like.

    Lovely views from the view on the top balcony. Excellent cricket ground and stand. Friendly staff and plenty of well maintained rooms for functions and meetings

    Great vibe, easy to get too. The beers were £4.60 a pop though and only took cash at mobile/portable vendors. Come prepared!! Security is strict on the people having too much fun.

    Great ashes history though this test can be forgotten given we've already won. Fantastic atmosphere and well organised hospitality area.

    Great ground to watch cricket from. The pavilion is superb, four levels open to all members. Puts other venues to shame.

    Book a seat in the shadier stands - you'll roast alive in the direct sun otherwise!

    Cricket, what else? OCS stands (entry thru the Alec Stewart gates) are the nicest.

    The home of Surrey County Cricket Club since 1846, the first international football match (Scot v Eng 1870, 1-1 draw) and FA Cup final (1872) were played here. The first cricket Test was in 1880.
