The County Ground, Beckenham (previously known as the Lloyd's TSB Sports and Social Club Ground)[2][3] is a cricket ground in Beckenham, England.

The ground was first used by the Kent 1st XI in 1954 – when it hosted a County Championship match against Gloucestershire. It has hosted four County Championship matches, four matches in the Pro40 and its predecessor the Sunday League and has mainly been used for Twenty20 matches.

In 2015, the club opened a new indoor cricket and function centre, a 2,048-seat spectator stand and all-weather sports facilities. The club also scheduled six days of cricket at the venue: an LV= County Championship match v Surrey and two NatWest t20 Blast fixtures against Surrey and Gloucestershire.

The ground has played host to four first-class matches, four List A matches and 18 Twenty20 matches.[4][5][6]
