One of the world's great cricket venues, traditionally hosting the final Test of the English summer. The Oval has a more relaxed, South London atmosphere than Lord's. The famous gasholders (now flats) remain part of the skyline.

What Fans Say About The Oval
Can see about 95% of the pitch perfectly. Good enough. Engaged crowd. Felt like being part of something. Market rate I suppose.
Can see about 95% of the pitch perfectly. Good enough. Took my son to his first ever game. Happy with the price-to-quality ratio. Better atmosphere than I expected. Pleasant surprise.
You can see the players' expressions from here. That close. Decent noise levels. Good participation. Third game this month. Addiction is real.
Can see about 95% of the pitch perfectly. Good enough. The away fans were giving it loads but we drowned them out. Goosebumps when we scored. The noise was incredible.
Premium positioning. Worth the extra cost for these sightlines. Fans know their songs here. Good stuff. Feels like fair pricing. Train station is about 15 mins walk. Not bad. Brought my dad. His first game in 30 years.
