Ted Lasso Tour of Richmond

Richmond is where Ted Lasso feels most at home, and this 2.5-hour walking tour puts you right among the show’s familiar streets. You’ll see Ted’s London front door, Rebecca’s home, Richmond Green, Richmond Bridge, and The Crown and Anchor, all while hearing filming stories from a guide who knows both the series and the town.

I like the easy meeting point at Richmond Station and the half-hour pub stop, which gives your feet a rest and makes the tour feel less like a location checklist. I also like that guides such as Emmy, Serena, Jenny, and Vic have brought extra local color, show trivia, and plenty of time for photos.

The main caution is group size. The tour is capped at 18 people, but one report found it larger than expected, making the guide harder to hear. Choose a place near the guide, especially if you want every behind-the-scenes detail.

Key points at a glance

• Ted’s London home: Take photos at the real front door on One Paved Court.
• The Crown and Anchor stop: Spend about 30 minutes at the pub used throughout the show. Food and drinks cost extra.
• Richmond beyond the show: See the Thames, Richmond Bridge, Richmond Green, and views connected to Keeley’s photoshoot.
• Guides with personality: Emmy, Serena, Jenny, and Vic have led tours praised for clear delivery, humor, and local insight.
• Small-group format: The tour allows up to 18 people, though the actual group may feel larger on some departures.
• Good London add-on: The tour begins and ends at Richmond Station, leaving the rest of the afternoon free.

Why Richmond is the right setting for Ted Lasso

The appeal here is not just spotting a few recognizable façades. Richmond gives Ted Lasso its calm, leafy, lived-in setting. The town sits on the River Thames and feels notably different from central London, with a slower pace, riverside paths, old streets, and attractive public spaces.

That contrast matters. Ted Lasso is a show about people finding their footing, and Richmond’s streets provide a warm backdrop for many of those moments. You are not being led through a studio set. You are walking through an actual London town where homes, pubs, shops, and public roads continue to serve everyday life.

I would book this for a fan who wants more than a photo at a single pub. The tour connects locations from all three seasons, so you get a fuller sense of how Richmond was used. You also gain enough local background to enjoy the outing even if you are a casual viewer rather than someone who can identify every AFC Richmond subplot.

The tour begins in the afternoon and ends back at the station in mid-afternoon. That timing works well for a London day plan. You can spend the morning elsewhere, take the train or public transport to Richmond, walk the tour, then stay in town for more sightseeing.

Starting at Richmond Green

The first stop is Richmond Green, where several locations from all three seasons are grouped close together. This is a useful opening because you begin with multiple filming references rather than spending the first part of the tour on a long walk to the first recognizable spot.

You will see the exterior used for the charity event, the route connected with Nathan’s walk to his parents’ house, Rebecca’s home, and the place where Ted challenges a girl to play football after Crystal Palace defeats Richmond 4-1. The guide ties these places to scenes, characters, and story moments, so the setting becomes easier to recognize.

The stop lasts about 10 minutes. That is enough for an explanation and a few photos, but not enough for an extended look at every building. Keep your camera ready and listen closely while the group is gathered.

Richmond Green itself is also part of the experience. Even without the television connection, it helps you see why the production used this part of town. It gives the tour a pleasant beginning and offers a break from the dense streets of central London.

One Paved Court and Ted’s front door

At One Paved Court, you get the classic Ted Lasso photo: the exterior of Ted’s London home. The stop is short, around 10 minutes, but this is likely to be one of the most important moments for fans.

The guide can explain how the location appears in the show and give you time to take a selfie. That photo opportunity is a practical reason to join a guided walk rather than simply search for locations on your own. You arrive at the correct spot, understand its connection to the series, and have a natural pause for pictures.

Remember that this is a real residential setting. Treat the doorway as a filming location, not a stage set. Keep the stop polite and brief, and follow the guide’s lead about where to stand.

This is also a good point to adjust your walking position. If the group is close to the maximum of 18 people, stay near the guide so you can hear the explanation before everyone spreads out for photos.

The Crown and Anchor, with time to sit down

The pub stop is the tour’s most relaxed section. The Crown and Anchor is the real Richmond pub used throughout Ted Lasso, including scenes where Ted and Coach Beard stop to think things through. Several scenes were filmed outside the pub as well.

You spend about 30 minutes here, which is unusually generous for a television-location walk. It gives you time to order a drink, sit down, and enjoy the place rather than simply point a camera at the sign and move on.

Food and drink are not included, so budget a little extra for your order. The advertised tour price is $48.61 per person, and that cost covers the expert local guide, not your pub purchase.

I consider the stop important to the tour’s value. A typical location walk can become a series of quick stops, especially when the group is trying to cover several seasons. Here, you get a chance to rest and talk with the guide. It also creates room for show stories that would feel rushed on a street corner.

The pub can be a busy, active business rather than a private attraction. The experience is therefore about being in a working location used by the show, not entering a preserved museum exhibit. That is part of the charm, but it also means the atmosphere may vary.

Richmond Bridge and the Roy and Keeley moment

Richmond Bridge brings the tour to one of the show’s best-known romantic locations. You stand where Roy Kent and Keeley Jones kiss on their first date and where paparazzi secretly photograph them.

The stop takes around 10 minutes, long enough to connect the scene with the setting and take pictures. The bridge also gives you a strong sense of Richmond’s relationship with the Thames. It is one of the places where the tour feels like both a television walk and a sightseeing outing.

You will also pass the restaurant used for the double date involving Keeley and Roy, Rebecca, and John. The tour does not promise a meal there, so think of it as another filming-location marker rather than a dining reservation.

This part of the walk may be especially satisfying if you enjoy the show’s character relationships. It is not just a generic backdrop. The guide connects a particular place with a turning point in the story, which makes the stop more memorable than a simple list of addresses.

Thames views and Keeley’s photoshoot

The final listed stop takes about 20 minutes and offers views over Richmond and the River Thames. It is linked to the glamorous location where Keeley has a photoshoot.

This is a welcome change of pace after the denser location stops. Instead of focusing only on doors, buildings, and pub exteriors, you get a wider view of the town. Bring a camera, but also take a moment to look beyond the show reference. The river setting helps explain Richmond’s appeal as a day trip from London.

The stop also gives the guide space to add local background. Several guides have blended show facts with information about Richmond’s history and culture, which is useful if your group includes people who are not major Ted Lasso fans.

The route ends back at Richmond Station. That is practical: you do not need to find your way across town after the final stop, and you can continue exploring Richmond or return to central London.

The guides make the difference

The strongest part of this experience is the guide. The tour depends on stories, timing, and clear explanations because most of the stops are outdoor locations that you could technically visit alone.

Emmy has been especially praised for being lively, interactive, and attentive to the whole group. She has introduced herself to people individually, helped create a friendly mood, and mixed Ted Lasso details with Richmond background. Serena has been noted for speaking clearly and being easy to approach. Jenny and Vic have also led enjoyable walks, with Vic adding extra conversation and insight during a rainy outing.

Names and guide assignments can change, so you should not book on the assumption that one specific person will lead your departure. Still, the pattern is useful: this is a tour where personality matters, and the available guide may shape the pace and feel of your afternoon.

A good guide also helps with the tricky part of filming-location tours: making ordinary buildings interesting. Expect stories about the cast, crew, filming process, and scenes that are not obvious from simply standing outside a doorway.

Walking pace, weather, and group size

You should have moderate physical fitness for this activity. It is a walking tour through town, with several stops and some time on foot between them. One guide included a bathroom break halfway through, but you should not treat that as guaranteed for every departure.

The tour is not described as strenuous. Even so, wear comfortable shoes and plan for British weather. One outing took place in heavy rain and was still enjoyable, but dry conditions will make the photo stops and riverside views easier.

The maximum group size is 18 people. That is smaller than a large city sightseeing group and can work well when everyone gathers close to the guide. The advantage is flexibility: you can ask about locations that interest you, and the guide has a better chance of responding to the group.

The drawback is that 18 is not always intimate. If the group is full, you may need to stay near the front to hear clearly. One reported departure felt larger than advertised, with some difficulty hearing the guide. That is the clearest warning attached to the experience.

Is $48.61 a fair price?

At $48.61 per person, this is not the cheapest way to walk around Richmond. You can see public places such as Richmond Green, Richmond Bridge, and the riverside without paying an admission fee.

The value comes from the guide and the structure. You get locations from all three seasons, a planned route, filming context, local information, photo time, and a 30-minute pub stop. You also avoid spending part of your London day trying to match fictional scenes with real addresses.

The price makes the most sense if you are already planning to visit Richmond and want a focused Ted Lasso experience. It is less compelling if you only want one quick photo at Ted’s door or the pub. In that case, an independent visit may be enough, although you would miss the behind-the-scenes stories and the connections among the locations.

The 4.9 rating from 152 ratings and a 99 percent recommendation rate suggest that the tour delivers strongly for its intended audience. I would still weigh the group-size issue, since a good guide is only useful if you can hear her.

Who will enjoy this Ted Lasso walk?

This tour suits:

• Dedicated Ted Lasso fans who want locations from all three seasons
• Couples and families looking for a relaxed London half-day outing
• Visitors who enjoy guided walks with a pub break
• People who want to see Richmond but prefer a clear route and local commentary
• Casual fans who like television locations but also want town history and river views

You do not need to be a superfan. The Richmond setting gives the tour wider appeal, and the guides add information about the town beyond the show.

I would be more cautious if you dislike walking, want a fully private experience, or expect a studio-style attraction with props and indoor exhibits. This is an outdoor location walk through a real town. Its appeal is seeing ordinary places in their filming context.

Should you book the Ted Lasso Tour of Richmond?

Book it if Ted Lasso is one of the main reasons you want to see Richmond, or if you want a guided introduction to one of London’s most pleasant outer areas. The combination of recognizable locations, local stories, a proper pub stop, and Thames views gives you more than a string of quick photo stops.

I especially like the way the tour balances fan service with real sightseeing. Ted’s door and the Roy and Keeley location are fun, but Richmond Green, the bridge, and the river make the outing worthwhile even between scenes.

Skip it if you only want to see one or two locations, or if you need a tiny private group. For most fans, though, the $48.61 cost is fair for a well-organized afternoon, especially when guides such as Emmy bring clear delivery, humor, and genuine enthusiasm to the walk.
