The Covid-19 vaccination centre at Lord’s Cricket Ground is moving to St John’s Wood United Synagogue.
The vaccine hub at Lord’s has overseen 45,000 jabs in less than six months, with the help of 70 volunteers.
The Home of Cricket, which is preparing to host matches once again, handed over the bat on Wednesday as part of a small ceremony.
This included the presentation of a plaque dedicated to vaccine volunteers that will be installed at the stadium; and an inscribed Menorah given to Marylebone Cricket Club, which owns Lord’s.

In addition to photos, artifacts, paintings and history, the museum will address issues of race and anti-Semitism, and the ways Southern Jews navigated such challenges in different times.

MCC welcomed Oliver Dowden to Lord’s to tour the vaccination centre at the Home of Cricket as part of his thanks to the wider culture, media and sports sectors for their help in the vaccine roll-out to date.
The minister met MCC Chief Executive & Secretary Guy Lavender for the tour that was led by Dr Saul Kaufman, Clinical Director of St John’s Wood and Maida Vale Primary Care Network.
MCC worked with local healthcare representatives to convert a space at Lord’s where the local community can receive their inoculations. The healthcare campaign “Aiming to knock Covid for 6” was created to encourage vaccinations and give a special welcome to those coming to the Ground.
