John Walker's Ground
John Walker's Ground otherwise known as The Walker Ground, Southgate is a cricket ground in Southgate, Middlesex. The ground was first used by Middlesex County Cricket Club's 1st XI as long ago as 1859, but had to wait until 1991 for its next county match, and until 1998 to become a regular Middlesex venue. It is named after John Walker, the Middlesex player who founded the ground.
In most recent years, the ground has hosted four or five matches in the various competitions (as a consequence of the Marylebone Cricket Club's restrictions on the number of games Middlesex can play at Lord's). However, in 2008 the ground hosted just a solitary Friends Provident Trophy match against Sussex.
The ground is also used by Southgate Cricket Club.
The ground has hosted 19 first-class matches and 28 List A matches.
