Leyton Cricket Ground is a cricket ground in Leyton, London (as the name implies, sic). The ground has been used for cricket since the early 19th century. In 1886 a pavilion was built at Leyton Cricket Ground, becoming the headquarters of Essex County Cricket Club until 1933, however Essex continued to play at Leyton until 1977, when they departed to Chelmsford. Essex are considering the possiblity of playing some Twenty20 Cup games back at the ground. Leyton Orient also occasionally played pre-season friendlies on the ground. The pavilion still stands today and is used as a sports ground by local schools.
