Ted Lasso turns a normal afternoon walk into a mission.

I love the small-group feel and the chance to pause at The Crown and Anchor for a proper 30-minute break. One consideration: it’s a walking tour with quick photo stops, so you’ll want solid, moderate stamina and a bit of patience for moving as a group.

You start at Richmond Station and head through Richmond-upon-Thames on foot, hopping between key on-screen locations from all three seasons. The route finishes back at the station in mid-afternoon, which is perfect if you want to keep sightseeing on your own right after.

Key things that make this tour worth your time

Ted Lasso Tour of Richmond - Key things that make this tour worth your time

  • Small group, max 18 people: better conversation, faster photo timing, less waiting around.
  • Three-season filming locations: you see moments tied to the full story arc, not just one era.
  • Ted’s London home selfie stop: the kind of photo that feels instantly real, not just thematic.
  • The Crown and Anchor drink break: 30 minutes to sit down and feel like you’re in the show’s rhythm.
  • Richmond Bridge + Roy/Keeley scenes: a short stop with a big emotional payoff for fans.
  • Thames and Richmond views: even if you’re not chasing every detail, the setting is part of the fun.

Why Richmond works so well for Ted Lasso (and you don’t need to be a superfan)

Ted Lasso Tour of Richmond - Why Richmond works so well for Ted Lasso (and you don’t need to be a superfan)
This tour is built around locations that Ted Lasso fans recognize fast. The big idea is simple: you walk through the real Richmond, then you map the show onto the street corners, doors, and pub fronts you see with your own eyes. If you know the scenes, it feels like playing detective. If you don’t, the town still delivers.

I like that the format doesn’t demand expertise. You’re not tested. You just follow along while your guide connects the dots between what you’re seeing and what played on screen. The stops cover moments tied to all three seasons, so it feels like a complete fan walk rather than a highlight reel from one stretch of the story.

And the guide matters here. Named guides you may encounter include Emmy, Serena, Jenny, and Vic, and they’re praised for keeping the tone fun and the group engaged. Expect more than “this is where a scene was filmed.” You’ll hear behind-the-scenes style stories about the making of the show and details about cast and crew.

Price and timing: what $48.61 buys you in real comfort

Ted Lasso Tour of Richmond - Price and timing: what $48.61 buys you in real comfort
At $48.61 per person for about 2 hours 30 minutes, this isn’t an all-day commitment. It’s a smart length for Richmond because the town itself is walkable, but it’s also easy to overdo it if you add museums afterward.

The tour is offered in English and uses a mobile ticket, so you’re not fumbling with paper when you meet up. Another practical detail: the tour is capped at 18 travelers, which tends to make it easier for your guide to keep everyone together and for you to actually hear the stories while you’re walking.

Finally, there’s the timing. It’s scheduled for the afternoon, and you end back at the station in mid-afternoon. That’s a big deal in London, where “half a day” can turn into “what do we do now?” quick. Here, you likely finish with energy left for a riverside wander, a second stop for coffee, or a casual dinner plan nearby.

One small trade-off: because the stops are short, you’ll want to use your photo time on purpose. Bring your phone battery-ready. Decide which moments you really want to capture. Then listen while you walk, not only when you stop.

Meeting at Richmond Station: fast start, easy direction cues

Your meeting point is Richmond Station, at The Quadrant (Richmond, Greater London TW9 2NA, UK). This is helpful because Richmond is a known rail destination, not some obscure backstreet. You can also treat the station as your “reset point” if you’re arriving from London by train and want to get oriented before the walk.

The tour begins in the afternoon and you’ll head out on foot with a small group. Since the tour ends back at the station, the overall day plan is straightforward: transit in, tour around Richmond, then you’re free to continue exploring without a complicated final commute.

If you’re the kind of person who likes knowing where you’ll be at each moment, this setup is reassuring: no mystery end point, no long goodbye trek across the city.

Stop-by-stop: Richmond Green sets the tone in 10 minutes

Ted Lasso Tour of Richmond - Stop-by-stop: Richmond Green sets the tone in 10 minutes
Stop 1: Richmond Green (10 minutes, free admission ticket-free)

This is your first cluster of on-screen references, and it’s a good place to start because it gets you used to the walking rhythm and the way your guide will connect scenes to real geography.

Expect locations tied to multiple moments across the series, including:

  • the exterior for the charity event
  • Nathan’s walk to his parents’ house
  • the home of Rebecca
  • and a scene where Ted challenges a girl to play football after losing 4–1 to Crystal Palace

The time here is short, which can feel rushed if you’re treating it like a photo shoot. But if you’re paying attention while you stand there, you’ll get the context so each next stop lands harder.

My advice: don’t just aim your camera. Pause for the story first, then take your photos immediately after. It usually makes the photos mean more later.

One Paved Court: the quick-hit Ted’s-door selfie moment

Ted Lasso Tour of Richmond - One Paved Court: the quick-hit Ted’s-door selfie moment
Stop 2: One Paved Court (10 minutes, free)

This stop is designed for one thing: a selfie in front of the front door of Ted’s London home. The “10 minutes” timing tells you how the tour flows. You’re not meant to linger here. You’re meant to capture the moment, then move on.

This is also where small-group structure helps. If you’re in the group and everyone is respectful of space, you can get your shot without turning the sidewalk into a traffic jam.

If you’re worried about hearing the guide while people take photos, stand where you can do both—slightly angled toward the guide, not blocking the flow. A quick shift in position can change everything.

Here's some more things to do in London

The Crown and Anchor drink break: 30 minutes that feels like part of the show

Ted Lasso Tour of Richmond - The Crown and Anchor drink break: 30 minutes that feels like part of the show
Stop 3: Richmond-upon-Thames (30 minutes, free)

This is the emotional center of the tour for many fans. You’ll stop for a drink at The Crown and Anchor, a pub that appears throughout Ted Lasso. The schedule builds in 30 minutes, and that’s not accidental. It gives you time to relax, chat, and let the story sink in without rushing to the next corner.

Your guide will connect the stop to moments where Ted and coach Beard think about things, and you’ll hear that numerous scenes were filmed outside the pub here. It’s also where people often exhale during walking tours, because you get a change of pace after earlier quick photo stops.

Important for expectations: food and drink are not included. The tour gives you time to buy and enjoy a drink, but you’ll need to pay pub prices if you want something beyond water.

If you want this tour to feel fun instead of frantic, use this stop well. Order something simple, sit back, and listen while you recover your legs for the bridge and viewpoints ahead.

Richmond Bridge: the Roy/Keeley scenes and the double-date restaurant stop

Ted Lasso Tour of Richmond - Richmond Bridge: the Roy/Keeley scenes and the double-date restaurant stop
Stop 4: Richmond Bridge (10 minutes, free)

This is a fast, high-recognition stop. You’ll stand on the spot associated with:

  • Roy Kent and Keeley Jones’ first date kiss
  • and where they’re secretly photographed by the paparazzi
  • plus a stop by the restaurant that hosted the double date with Keeley and Roy and Rebecca and John

It’s short, so the best approach is the same as earlier: hear the connection, then take photos. If you wait until you’re done hearing the explanation, you’ll miss the chance to capture the moment in the right frame of mind.

Also, bridge stops often come with winds off the river. If you get cold easily, bring a light layer. Comfort helps you enjoy the scene instead of rushing through it.

Richmond views: a payoff stop with Thames scenery

Ted Lasso Tour of Richmond - Richmond views: a payoff stop with Thames scenery
Stop 5: Richmond (20 minutes, free)

The last stop leans into the setting as much as the show. You’ll get stunning views over Richmond and the River Thames at a glamorous location linked to a Keeley photoshoot.

This is where non-fans can still feel satisfied, because Richmond is pretty even if you never watched a single episode. The 20-minute timing gives you breathing room after the earlier photo-focused stops. You can take photos, pause to absorb the river view, and get a final feel for why so many people like visiting this part of London.

If you’re traveling with someone who loves the show but isn’t as obsessed with every detail, this is your compromise. You can trade scene trivia for skyline and riverside calm for a bit.

What’s actually included (and what you’ll be paying for)

Included:

  • An expert local guide

Not included:

  • Food and drink

That’s the trade. The tour price covers the guide and the walk between locations, but any drink at The Crown and Anchor is on you. The good news is that the one longer stop is set up for you to choose what you want: sit down, buy a beverage, and use the time to rest without the pressure of a packed itinerary.

Who this tour suits best

This is ideal if:

  • you’re a Ted Lasso fan and want to see filming locations from all three seasons
  • you like small groups and guided storytelling instead of self-guided wandering
  • you want an afternoon plan that ends with time left to explore Richmond on your own

It may be less ideal if:

  • you dislike walking or need long stops at each location
  • you’re only interested in eating and drinking, since food isn’t included and most stops are relatively brief
  • you want a fully hands-off experience with no guidance, since the tour is built around stories and scene connections

One practical note: your fitness level should be moderate. This doesn’t mean strenuous hiking, but it does mean you should be comfortable walking for the duration and moving between stops without long breaks.

Photo and comfort tips that make the whole thing easier

A few small moves help this tour go smoothly:

  • Wear comfortable shoes with grip. Richmond streets can be uneven in places, and you’ll be on foot.
  • Keep your phone charged and camera ready before you arrive at each stop. The timing is tight.
  • Position yourself so you can both hear and take photos without blocking others.
  • If rain threatens, you’ll still be outside most of the time. Pack a light rain layer and plan accordingly.

Also, some guides are known for building in a bathroom break halfway through the walk. Don’t count on it in your planning, but it’s worth knowing that your guide may help with a quick stop if needed.

Should you book the Ted Lasso Tour of Richmond?

I think you should book this tour if Ted Lasso has made you notice details in everyday life. The locations aren’t just random; they’re tied to scenes from across the show, and the pacing keeps you moving without feeling like you’re trapped in a long museum-style lecture.

It’s also a smart value for London because you get both:

  • show connections (the doors, the bridge moments, the pub stop)
  • and a genuine Richmond setting on the Thames, with views that stand on their own

If you’re lukewarm about the show, you can still enjoy Richmond. But if you’re not curious about the scenes at all, you might prefer an independent Richmond walk and spend your money elsewhere. This tour works best when you want the story layered onto the streets.
