The Hundred Finals Day Chauffeur Service – Lord’s Cricket Ground 2026

The Hundred 2026 Finals Day takes place at Lord’s Cricket Ground on Sunday 16 August — the women’s final at 2.15pm followed by the men’s final at 6pm, with the Eliminator taking place at the same venue on the Friday before. For cricket supporters and corporate guests travelling from Greater Manchester, Cheshire, Merseyside, and Lancashire to attend the culmination of the Hundred season at the Home of Cricket, Manner Borne Chauffeurs provides a luxury chauffeur service to Lord’s and to the Kia Oval for the Eliminator — managing the full journey south from the North West and the approach to two of London’s most famous cricket grounds on what will be a fully sold-out weekend of high-octane 100-ball cricket.

Lord’s Cricket Ground – The Finals Day Venue

Lord’s Cricket Ground sits on St John’s Wood Road in NW8, accessible from the A41 Maida Vale corridor and the A5 Edgware Road, with the nearest Underground station St John’s Wood on the Jubilee Line approximately five minutes’ walk from the Grace Gates entrance. Lord’s has hosted The Hundred Finals Day since the competition’s inception and has become firmly associated with the tournament’s biggest moments — the ground fills to its 28,500 capacity for Finals Day, with the double-header of women’s and men’s finals making it a full Sunday occasion rather than a single-match event.

Vehicle access to the immediate St John’s Wood Road area on Finals Day is restricted by event-day road management, and the approach streets around Lord’s — Wellington Road, Circus Road, and the residential streets of St John’s Wood — are subject to parking controls that make driving independently and parking near the ground impractical. Manner Borne’s chauffeurs approach Lord’s via the A41 and drop off on St John’s Wood Road or the adjacent approach streets, using What3Words to confirm the precise point for both arrival and the post-match collection. With a women’s final at 2.15pm and a men’s final at 6pm on the same day, the timing of arrival and the decision about whether to attend both matches or one determines the drop-off and collection schedule — all of which is confirmed before departure.

The Kia Oval – The Eliminator on Friday 14 August

The Eliminator on Friday 14 August takes place at the Kia Oval in Kennington, SE11 — the same ground that opened the 2026 Hundred season on 21 July. The Kia Oval sits on Harleyford Street, accessible from the A3 Kennington Park Road and the A202 corridor, with Oval Underground station on the Northern Line approximately two minutes from the ground. For clients attending the Eliminator on the Friday before Finals Day — whether as a standalone event or as the first leg of a cricket weekend in London — Manner Borne can arrange the transfer to the Oval as a separate booking or as part of a two-day London arrangement combining both venues.

The Kia Oval’s south London location makes it a different approach from Lord’s — the A3 southbound from the A40 brings traffic into Kennington from the north, while the approach from the M25 south uses the A3 northbound through Brixton. For North West clients making a weekend of the Eliminator and Finals Day, a Friday evening journey south after work, a London hotel stay on Friday and Saturday nights, and a Sunday return after the men’s final is the most practical arrangement — avoiding the impracticality of three separate long-distance journeys across the weekend.

The Manchester Super Giants – The North West Connection

The rebranding of Manchester Originals as Manchester Super Giants for the 2026 season — one of three franchises to adopt new identities following major investment into the competition — gives the North West a direct stake in The Hundred’s continued growth. The Manchester Super Giants play their home fixtures at Emirates Old Trafford and represent the primary local interest for supporters across Greater Manchester, Lancashire, and the wider North West who follow the competition from its opening rounds through to the Finals Day at Lord’s.

For Manchester Super Giants supporters who have followed the team through the group stage and want to attend Finals Day if the team progresses, early confirmation of travel arrangements is advisable — Lord’s on Finals Day sells out quickly once the finalists are confirmed, and chauffeur availability for the journey south from the North West on Finals Day weekend is limited by high demand from across the region. The cricket chauffeur service covers the full Hundred season programme, from group-stage fixtures at Emirates Old Trafford to the Finals Weekend in London.

Vehicle Choice for a Lord’s Finals Day

For a London day trip from the North West to Lord’s on Finals Day — a round trip of approximately five to six hours driving — the vehicle choice matters considerably. The Mercedes-Benz S-Class chauffeur vehicle in long-wheelbase configuration provides the rear cabin comfort that makes a two-and-a-half to three-hour motorway journey in each direction a genuinely restful experience. The M40 from Manchester to the A40 and the Lord’s approach typically runs at two hours and forty-five to three hours and fifteen minutes, and the return journey on a Sunday evening in August — leaving Lord’s after the men’s final concludes around 9.30 to 10pm — is generally a clear motorway run northbound from around 10pm.

For groups of cricket supporters travelling together, the Mercedes-Benz V-Class XLWB accommodates up to seven in individual seating — the natural arrangement for a group of friends making a day of the Finals, or a corporate party combining the Hundred Finals with client entertainment in London. The double-header format of Finals Day, with the women’s final at 2.15pm and the men’s final at 6pm, means the day runs to approximately 9.30pm — a long and genuinely full day that is considerably more comfortable in a properly equipped large vehicle for the return journey north.
