Only watched tests at Lords, Oval and one at Southampton

Of the London grounds I preferred Lords because you could get a seat under cover, eg in the old grandstand (my favourite) or Compton/Edrich stands. I the days I was going to the Oval, generally exposed to the sun, not good for a ginge like me. The Rose Bowl is a similar sun trap.
