London’s TV magic is hiding in plain sight. This private Ted Lasso filming locations tour takes you from London Victoria into Richmond-upon-Thames, where the show’s key spots are tied to real streets, riverside paths, and a famous local pub. It’s a great way to turn a fan obsession into a proper half-day stroll through a beautiful part of southwest London.

What I like most is the private guide setup: you get undivided attention, time to ask questions, and the freedom to keep a comfortable pace. I also like that you’re not just walking past landmarks—there’s real context at each stop, plus plenty of camera-friendly angles for your Ted Lasso photo ops.

One consideration: lunch isn’t included, and you’ll still need a contactless payment card to tap in and out on the London Underground.

Quick Hits Before You Go

• Private guide focus: fewer rushing moments and more time for your questions.
• Tube escorted travel: you ride together from London Victoria to Richmond as part of the tour.
• Pub stop time: a scheduled pause at the show’s pub location, with drinks or lunch at your own expense.
• Photo ops at every stop: you’ll spend short bursts at the exact filming areas, not just vague “nearby” spots.
• Richard’s on-the-spot match-ups: the guide uses photos to help you connect what you see in real life to scenes from the show.
• Richmond scenery does the heavy lifting: the river, green, and alleyways make the tour enjoyable even if you take breaks from episode memories.

Why Richmond Is the Real Star of This Ted Lasso Tour

If you only came for filming locations, you’d still be happy once you’re in Richmond. The area has that calm, village-feel London does best: riverside walks, leafy corners, and streets that look lived-in rather than staged. That matters because Ted Lasso’s look depends on everyday places—parks, pubs, and the kind of side streets where you’d actually run into neighbors.

Richmond also gives you variety in a short time. You go from the Thames-area setting to a riverside path, then into green space, then a pub stop, and finally the apartment alleyways. That’s a nice rhythm for a 3 to 4 hour outing: enough movement to keep it fun, but not so much that you feel like you’re doing a marathon in costume cosplay.

The Private Guide Experience (and Why Richard Gets Mentioned a Lot)

This is a private tour, so you aren’t squeezed into the “follow the leader” style that can flatten the whole experience. Instead, your guide can slow down for your questions—whether you’re trying to place a scene, connect a location to the episode plot, or just learn why this specific spot was chosen.

In the feedback I’m using here, Richard comes up again and again for three practical reasons:

• He talks about the show while also layering in local context about Richmond.
• He uses photos to help you match what you’re seeing on the street to what you remember on-screen.
• He stays flexible and attentive to the group’s needs, including physical comfort during the walk.

That combination is what turns a filming-locations tour into something you can actually use. You leave with a mental map, not just a list of stops.

Getting There: London Victoria to Richmond by Tube (Escorted)

The tour meets at the Shakespeare & Platform 2299 address on Buckingham Palace Road, which is near the big London Victoria area. From there, you travel together by London Underground to Richmond-upon-Thames.

Two things to know before you go:

1. The underground ride is part of the escorted plan, which removes a lot of guesswork.
2. You still need your own contactless payment method to tap in and out. The tour covers the escort, not your travel payment.

This is one of those details that can save time and stress. If you’ve never used contactless on the Tube, plan to do a quick test before tour day so you’re not troubleshooting with your phone while everyone else is moving.

Stop 1: Richmond-upon-Thames River Walk and First Filming Hot Spots

Stop 1 is where the tour starts to feel real. You begin in the Richmond-upon-Thames area and walk toward the show’s filming hot spots along the River Thames. It’s not just a scenic warm-up: this is where the setting tone locks in.

Why this stop works for you:

• You get a broad view of the neighborhood before zooming into the specific scene locations.
• The river backdrop makes it easy to understand the show’s sense of place.
• You’re walking as a group, so the guide can point out which angles matter for photos.

The main tradeoff is time. The tour is tight, so you won’t linger long enough to do your own long river detour here. If you love photos, arrive ready with the right side of the street picked in your head, and let the guide guide you to the best spots.

Stop 2: Richmond Riverside Path Where the Backdrop Shows Up Again and Again

Next up is the Richmond Riverside walk. This stop is shorter, but that’s actually the point. You’re focusing on the kind of path and backdrop that shows up repeatedly on-screen, so the guide can point out how the framing works along the route.

Expect:

• A focused stroll rather than a wide roaming wander.
• Plenty of opportunities to stop for quick photos—since the tour is designed around show locations, not general sightseeing.

If you’re the type who wants one perfect shot rather than 20 mediocre ones, this is a good stop. But if you hate stopping often, keep in mind this tour is built around short, frequent photo breaks.

Stop 3: Richmond Green Kickabout Moment and the Pub Nearby

At Richmond Green, you get a dose of open-air calm. The itinerary ties this green space to a kickabout moment where Ted motivates a young girl during a football game, and it also places you near the pub location connected to the show.

I like this stop because it breaks up the walking with a wider open feeling. You can look around, take in the scale of the space, and then mentally place the show’s action in a real environment.

The watch-out? Richmond Green is a working local space. That means you may see locals playing football, walking dogs, and doing normal life stuff. It’s not a problem—it just means you should be ready for the scene to be shared.

Stop 4: The Prince’s Head Pub (Crown & Anchor on Screen) and Your Own-Time Meal

This is the most “Ted Lasso fan” moment of the day. The tour stops at the Prince’s Head pub, which is the principal pub location in real life and appears as the show’s famous pub setting. Your guide schedules time here for drinks or lunch, but table availability can affect how long you’ll get to sit.

What makes this pub stop valuable:

• It gives you a real chance to do a slow, social pause rather than just stand for photos.
• It helps the show’s relationship to community feel more grounded. A pub is where people actually gather, and Richmond lives that out.
• It’s a break that fits a 3 to 4 hour tour pace. You’re not starving, but you also aren’t forced into a set meal.

Plan for the practical side: drinks and food are your expense. If you want lunch, this is the moment. I’d also think about what you want most—photos outside, a quick drink, or a proper sit-down meal—because that choice impacts how you spend your remaining time later.

Stop 5: One Paved Court for Apartment Alleyways and Scene Matching

Then you shift from big scenery to the smaller, more detailed parts of the show: the alleyways and streets around Ted’s apartment location. One Paved Court is the stop name here, and it’s exactly the kind of place where the show leans into coziness and everyday charm.

This stop is also where you may spot shops selling Ted Lasso related items. That’s a nice bonus if you want a souvenir that feels connected to the place rather than a generic gift shop.

Photo tip that matters: narrow streets can make angles tricky, especially if you’re sharing space with other pedestrians. Let the guide position you where you can get the shot without stopping traffic—or blocking someone’s path while you wait for the perfect background.

Stop 6: Back to London Victoria (or Westminster If You Prefer)

At the end, you’re escorted back toward London Victoria Station or Westminster, depending on what you prefer. The core point is simple: you don’t finish in some remote place with no idea how to get home. You end near the hub you started from, which is the smartest kind of tour logistics.

If your next stop is another London attraction, this ending helps. You can pivot to whatever you planned for the evening without burning time navigating the Tube from scratch.

Price and Value: What You’re Really Paying For at $213.59

At $213.59 per person for a 3 to 4 hour private outing, you’re paying for three things that add up fast:

1. Time-saving coordination

You’re meeting near Victoria, riding together on the Tube, and moving from location to location with escort. That’s worth money in a city where transit and navigation can swallow hours.

1. A guide who connects scenes to place

A filming-locations tour is only as good as its interpretation. Richard’s use of matching photos and his ability to weave show details with Richmond context is where the value lives. You don’t just learn where something was shot—you learn how to recognize it.

1. High-quality photo access without crowds

The tour is private for your group, so you can pause, ask, retake, and adjust without feeling like you’re fighting for space with strangers. The short stop-and-shoot format keeps things efficient.

Where you’ll spend extra is predictable: the pub stop is your meal and drinks. If you want to treat the day like an outing with lunch, budget for it. If you just want a coffee or a drink, you can keep costs under control.

Also, it’s booked far ahead on average. If your dates are fixed, book early so you aren’t gambling with availability.

What the Tour Gets Right for Fans (and Still Works for Non-Fans)

This is one of those tours that works even if you’re not obsessed with every single episode detail. The location itself carries the day. Richmond is genuinely pleasant to walk through, and the riverside and green spaces give you normal-world enjoyment, not just fan-service points.

For Ted Lasso fans, the best part is that the tour doesn’t treat filming locations like random “tourist pins.” It ties each place to a scene idea, then gives you enough context to rewatch later with a new kind of attention. You’ll start spotting the difference between similar-looking streets and the ones the show actually used.

The small humorous advantage is that the tour naturally encourages you to slow down and look. In London, that’s rare. Most days we rush from stop to stop. Here you’re invited to look around like you mean it.

Photo Ops and Q&A: How to Get Better Shots

Photo opportunities are built into the structure: short stops with time to capture your favorite locations. But to get the most out of it, do two things:

• Ask for guidance before you shoot. The best angles often depend on where the guide stands you relative to the street.
• Use the show-photo matching approach. When you understand what you’re trying to recreate, your photos improve fast.

If you’re hoping for actual filming in progress, there’s one detail you should keep in mind: sometimes there can be active filming when you arrive. One group reported a surprise bonus when they saw filming taking place. It’s not something you can count on, but it does add a fun element to the day if it happens.

Walking, Timing, and What to Wear

You’re looking at about 3 to 4 hours total, with multiple stops and travel by Tube. That means you’ll do real walking—short segments, but enough to make comfort matter.

Wear shoes you’d happily walk in for an afternoon in London. If it’s chilly or rainy, bring a layer. The riverside and open green area can feel cooler than you expect, even when the city center is warm.

Also, plan your expectations: this isn’t a slow art museum pace. It’s a guided photo-and-walk rhythm with questions along the way.

Who Should Book This Tour

Book this if:

• You want a private, question-friendly experience focused on Ted Lasso filming locations.
• You like turning a show into a place you can actually walk.
• You’d rather pay for a guide than spend your time figuring out transit routes and exact scene angles.

It’s also a good pick if you’re traveling with someone who enjoys history or local context, because the guide brings in Richmond details beyond the show.

You might skip it if:

• You only want the absolute cheapest way to see a neighborhood. This is a guided, escorted experience with a private format, so it costs more than self-guided walking.

Should You Book This Private Ted Lasso Filming Locations Tour?

If you’re a Ted Lasso fan who also wants a good day out in Richmond, I think this is an easy yes. The private guide setup, the Tube escort, and the stop-by-stop filming location focus make it feel efficient without feeling rushed.

The only real “no” factor is if you hate walking or you want a fully packaged meal included. Otherwise, the combination of real Richmond scenery plus show-specific photo moments is exactly what this tour is built for.
