Ted Lasso Tour of Richmond

Richmond is the real star of this Ted Lasso tour. The show’s AFC Richmond world takes shape in a handsome riverside town of green spaces, old streets, pubs, and Thames views. You’ll walk through filming spots from all three seasons, with time for photos and a drink at The Crown and Anchor.

I like the small-group format, which lets you hear the guide and stop for pictures without feeling rushed. I also like that this is more than a string of TV locations: guides such as Emmy, Serena, Jenny, and Vic add stories about Richmond, the cast, and the filming process.

The main drawback is that the group may be larger than expected on some departures. One person found it hard to hear the guide, so stay near the front if clear commentary matters to you. The tour also includes steady walking, though it is described as manageable rather than strenuous.

Key points to know before you book

• Richmond Green sets the scene: See several locations from all three seasons, including Rebecca’s home and the site of a charity event.
• Ted’s London front door is a photo stop: One Paved Court gives you the classic selfie opportunity.
• The Crown and Anchor includes a 30-minute drink stop: The pub appears often in the show, but your food and drink are extra.
• Richmond Bridge connects the show to the river: See where Roy and Keeley share an important early kiss.
• The town adds value beyond Ted Lasso: Richmond’s streets, Thames views, and local character make the outing worthwhile even for casual fans.
• The tour costs $48.61 per person: For two and a half hours with a local guide, that is fair value if you plan to spend more time in Richmond afterward.

Why Richmond works so well as a Ted Lasso setting

Ted Lasso uses Richmond as more than a backdrop. The town’s calm streets and polished riverside setting help create the show’s warm, slightly removed world. You can see why the production returned here across all three seasons.

Richmond is in southwest London, on the Thames, and the tour starts at Richmond Station. That makes the outing easy to add to a London day. You do not need to arrange a complicated transfer or find isolated filming spots on your own. Meet the guide at the station, then set off on foot.

I like this setup because it gets you moving quickly. There is no long introduction in a hotel lobby or coach ride before the first sight. You begin in a real London neighborhood, with the station as a simple meeting point and Richmond itself as part of the experience.

The tour is offered in English and lasts about two hours and thirty minutes. It begins in the afternoon and ends back at Richmond Station in mid-afternoon, leaving you time to continue sightseeing, linger by the Thames, or explore more of Richmond on your own.

Richmond Green brings several seasons together

The first main area is Richmond Green, an open stretch of grass framed by attractive buildings and local streets. This is where the guide begins connecting the town you see in front of you with scenes from the series.

You will hear about several locations from all three seasons. These include the exterior used for a charity event, the route connected with Nathan walking to his parents’ house, Rebecca’s home, and the spot where Ted challenges a girl to play football after the 4-1 loss to Crystal Palace.

The strength of this stop is variety. Instead of seeing one famous doorway and moving on, you get several references in a compact area. It also gives the guide room to explain how the production used Richmond’s ordinary streets for story moments that fans remember.

Allow about ten minutes here, though the actual pace can depend on the group. You will want your camera ready, but do not expect to enter private homes or spend long periods inside locations. These are exterior filming spots, viewed from public areas.

Richmond Green is also useful for people who are not devoted fans. The setting has a pleasant, traditional London feel, and the guide adds local background alongside the television details. That broader context is one reason the tour works for couples or families with mixed levels of interest.

One Paved Court gives you Ted’s front door

The stop at One Paved Court is short and specific: a chance to take a photo in front of Ted’s London home. For dedicated fans, this is likely one of the tour’s must-have pictures.

You should keep your expectations practical. This is an exterior stop, not a house visit. The tour allows about ten minutes, which is enough for a selfie, a group picture, and a little commentary before the walk continues.

That brief pause is part of the appeal. You do not spend half an hour waiting for everyone to photograph the same door. The guide keeps the group moving while giving fans a clear moment to enjoy a location they may recognize instantly.

If you want a clean photo, stay aware of the rest of the group and listen for the guide’s instructions. The tour is designed to give everyone a turn, not to provide a private photo session.

The Crown and Anchor is the social heart of the walk

The pub stop at The Crown and Anchor gives the tour its most relaxed break. In Ted Lasso, the pub appears throughout the series and is linked with Ted and Coach Beard as they stop to think through problems. Several scenes were filmed outside it.

You spend about thirty minutes here, including time for a drink. Food and drinks are not included in the tour price, so budget separately. That is worth knowing before you arrive, especially if you expect the stop to function as a full meal break.

I like the length of this pause. A quick photo outside would miss the pub’s role in the show, while a long lunch would eat into the walking tour. Thirty minutes gives you time to order a drink, hear more stories, and enjoy the setting without turning the tour into a pub crawl.

The pub can also be the point where the group naturally relaxes. Guides share behind-the-scenes stories about the cast and crew here, and the setting makes the show feel close to everyday Richmond. You are not just checking a location off a list. You are sitting in one of the places that helped shape the show’s familiar rhythm.

Because food and drink are extra, this stop is not a financial surprise if you plan ahead. The tour price covers the guide, while your own order is your responsibility.

Richmond Bridge adds the show’s romantic moments

Richmond Bridge is one of the clearest links between the series and the River Thames. You will stand near the place where Roy Kent and Keeley Jones kiss on their first date and where paparazzi secretly photograph them.

The bridge also puts you close to the restaurant used for the double date involving Keeley and Roy, Rebecca, and John. The tour does not suggest a meal there, but the guide points out the location as part of the story.

This stop matters because it connects character drama with a real public setting. The bridge is not simply a recognizable structure in the background. It is part of a turning point in the show’s relationships.

You will have about ten minutes here. That is enough for photographs and a quick look at the river, but not enough for a long riverside pause. If you want time to admire the bridge or stroll along the Thames, return after the tour ends.

The final viewpoint gives you a reason to stay in Richmond

The final Richmond stop offers broad views over the town and the River Thames. It is connected with the glamorous location where Keeley has a photoshoot, giving the tour a more scenic finish after the tighter streets and pub setting.

The planned time here is about twenty minutes. This is where the tour feels less like a checklist of doors and more like a local walk. You can take in the view, ask questions, and see why Richmond was such a useful setting for the series.

For me, this is an important part of the value. If the tour ended after Ted’s door and the pub, you would have seen the show’s most obvious references but missed much of Richmond’s appeal. The river views give you a chance to enjoy the town as a place, not only as a production site.

You may want to plan extra time after the official end. The tour returns to the station, but Richmond is worth exploring beyond the scheduled stops. The experience leaves you in a convenient position to continue your own walk.

What the guides add to the experience

The guide makes a major difference on this tour. The strongest feedback focuses on guides who are lively, easy to hear, and willing to engage with the whole group.

Emmy is especially praised for her energy, humor, and knowledge of both Ted Lasso and Richmond. One guide was described as a Richmond resident and actress, bringing useful insight into the town and the filming world. Serena is noted for speaking clearly and being approachable. Jenny and Vic also led enjoyable walks, with Vic adding extra conversation during a rainy outing.

Those details matter because filming-location tours can become flat if the guide only points at buildings. Here, you can expect stories about the cast and crew, production details, local history, and the way scenes fit into Richmond’s streets.

The tour has a maximum group size of 18, though one experience had more people than expected. If you want the best chance of hearing every story, stand close to the guide and avoid drifting toward the back. This is particularly useful on busy streets or during outdoor commentary.

The high rating of 4.9 from 152 ratings and the 99 percent recommendation figure suggest that guide quality is usually a strong point. Still, group size and weather can shape the experience, so arrive ready for an outdoor walk rather than a quiet private tour.

How much value do you get for $48.61?

At $48.61 per person, the tour is not the cheapest way to see Richmond. You could visit the town on your own for the cost of transport and a drink. The question is whether the guide and the organized route are worth paying for.

For a Ted Lasso fan, I think the answer is generally yes. The tour gathers locations from all three seasons, explains the scenes, and adds filming stories that are difficult to get from a map alone. You also avoid spending time locating scattered streets and wondering if you have found the correct door or viewpoint.

The price includes the local guide but not food or drink. That makes the thirty-minute pub stop a separate expense, though it also lets you choose what you want rather than paying for a fixed meal.

For a casual fan, the value depends on your interest in walking through Richmond. If you already want to see the town, the show references are a useful bonus. If you only want a quick photo at Ted’s door, the full tour may feel longer than necessary.

The tour is also good value for a first visit to Richmond because it combines television locations with a practical introduction to the town. You get the Green, the bridge, the Thames views, and a traditional pub in one compact outing.

Walking, timing, and practical comfort

You should have a moderate level of physical fitness. The tour is on foot and lasts two and a half hours, but one comment described it as relaxing rather than too strenuous. There is also a bathroom break during at least some departures, which is useful on a walking tour.

Wear shoes suited to pavements and bring a light layer or rain protection. The route is outdoors, and one guide still made the walk enjoyable in rainy weather, but weather will affect how much you enjoy the riverside stops.

The afternoon timing works well if you want to spend the morning elsewhere in London. After the tour, you return to Richmond Station, so you can head back into central London or stay in the area.

Confirmation is provided at booking, and the activity is near public transportation. Free cancellation is available up to 24 hours before the start time. Changes or cancellations inside that period are not accepted, so check your plans before the deadline.

Who should book this Ted Lasso walk?

You should book it if Ted Lasso is one of the main reasons you want to visit Richmond, especially if you enjoy character moments, filming trivia, and taking location photos.

It also suits you if you like small-town-feeling districts within a large city. Richmond offers a change from central London’s major sights, and the tour gives you a reason to see its streets and riverfront.

Casual fans can enjoy it too. You do not need to remember every episode to appreciate Ted’s door, the pub, the bridge, and the Thames views. The local side of the walk helps carry the experience for anyone who is less invested in the show.

I would be more cautious if you dislike guided walking tours, want lots of time inside attractions, or expect a truly private group. The tour is mostly outdoors, with short stops and a maximum stated group size of 18. A larger-than-expected departure may make it harder to hear every detail.

Should you book the Ted Lasso Tour of Richmond?

Book it if you want the show’s filming locations presented with personality rather than simply marked on a map. The best parts are the clear links to all three seasons, the friendly guides, the pub pause, and the chance to see Richmond as a real town beside the Thames.

If you are a serious Ted Lasso fan, this is an easy choice. If you are only mildly interested, book it when you also want an afternoon in Richmond. That combination gives you the strongest value and leaves room to enjoy the town after the guided walk ends.
