REVIEW · FILM AND TV LOCATION TOURS
Ted Lasso Tour of Richmond
A faith-filled walk through Richmond, set by TV magic. This Ted Lasso tour turns a scenic corner of London into a step-by-step route through filming locations from all three seasons, with a live guide sharing stories you will not get from a screen. You start in the afternoon in Richmond and end back at the station with time left for more sightseeing.
I especially like the small-group feel. With a maximum of 18 people, the pace stays friendly, and you get time to stop for photos at the key spots, including the front door selfie location and the classic Richmond Bridge moments. I also like the built-in pub break at The Crown and Anchor, where the tour schedule includes time to grab a drink, slow down, and chat about the show before you keep walking.
One possible drawback to keep in mind is group size. Even though it is capped at 18, a few people have noted trouble hearing the guide when the group felt bigger than expected. If you like conversation and details, plan to stand where you can hear clearly, especially near story stops.

Key Things I’d Prioritize

- All three seasons in one route, so you see more than just a single era of the show.
- Photo-friendly stops like Ted’s London home door (for selfies) and Richmond Bridge scenes.
- The Crown and Anchor pub pause with a set chunk of time, not just a quick pass-by.
- Richmond, on the Thames, meaning your walking tour comes with real views, not only TV locations.
- Afternoon timing that leaves you breathing room afterward to keep exploring Richmond on your own.

From Richmond Station, a TV Tour That Actually Feels Like a Walk

This tour begins at Richmond Station, right at The Quadrant in Richmond. You meet your guide directly there, then head out on foot as a small group. The timing is also smart: you get started in the afternoon and finish back at the station mid-afternoon, which helps if you want to combine the tour with the rest of your day in London.
The format is simple but effective. You are not stuck in a bus, and you are not sprinting from one location to another. Instead, you move through several recognizable stops across Richmond, with short pauses so you can look, take pictures, and listen. If you like a tour that feels more like a guided stroll than a checklist, this one fits.
Also, the tour is in English and uses a mobile ticket. That matters on travel days when paper tickets are the last thing you want to manage. It is also clearly positioned for people with moderate walking ability, which is fair for a route that includes multiple stops and several blocks between them.
Richmond Green and One Paved Court: Quick Stops That Still Feel Worth It

The first stop is Richmond Green. This is where the tour sets the stage and connects you to multiple scenes from across the series. You also get the exterior for the charity event, plus a walk that Nathan takes to his parents house, and a spot tied to Ted challenging a girl to play football after a Crystal Palace loss. It is a lot to pack into a short window, but it works because the guide connects each place to what happens there.
The biggest value at this stop is context. Even if you are a fan, you still want to know what you are looking at and why it matters. Richmond Green is the kind of place where the background feels real, not like a manufactured set. It helps you shift from watching the show to seeing the town itself.
Next is One Paved Court, a stop designed for a very specific kind of memory: the selfie in front of the front door of Ted’s London home. Expect a quick pause here, not a long explanation. But that quick hit is exactly what many people want on a fandom tour. You get the photo moment without turning your afternoon into a slow line of waiting.
Practical note: since these are short stops (about 10 minutes each), you will get more out of them if you come ready to take photos quickly. Have your camera or phone set, then listen while you position yourself for pictures.
The Crown and Anchor: The One Stop Built for a Real Break
Stop three is Richmond-upon-Thames, and it is the most “live” part of the experience. You get time at The Crown and Anchor, the traditional British pub that appears throughout the show. The schedule includes about 30 minutes here, which is the difference between a location photo and actually soaking in the mood.
This is the stop where the tour becomes more than references. The guide helps connect the pub to moments where Ted and coach Beard think things through. You are also given space to enjoy a drink while you listen. That sounds simple, but it is a big deal: it gives you time to reset your feet and your attention, and it helps the whole tour feel less rushed.
Do plan for costs here. Food and drink are not included, so you will need to pay for whatever you order. Still, the value is in the time. A half-hour in a real Richmond pub beats a quick photo stop any day.
If you are the type who likes asking questions, this is the best moment. People tend to relax, and the guide tends to have extra stories ready while everyone is seated or slowly moving around.
Richmond Bridge: Where the Romance, the Drama, and the Views Meet

Then you move to Richmond Bridge, one of the most iconic backdrops in the route. The tour gives you exact scene points to connect with what you see. You stand on the spot tied to Roy Kent and Keeley Jones’ kiss on their first date and the paparazzi moment where they are secretly photographed. There is also a stop by the restaurant that hosted the double date with Keeley and Roy and Rebecca and John.
Time here is about 10 minutes, so it is not a long lingering moment. But the photo opportunities and the emotional recognition of these scenes are what make it work. This is also where the walk feels distinctly Richmond. Even without the show, the bridge area is visually strong, and with the show context added, it becomes a kind of “then and now” moment.
One consideration: bridge areas can get busy, depending on the day. Since your time is limited, arrive with your photo plans ready. If you want a group photo, set expectations with your party before you reach the narrowest area.
Richmond Views by the Thames: Photoshoot Energy, Minus the Studio

Your final stop is Richmond, where you get about 20 minutes to take in views over Richmond and the River Thames. This is tied to a glamorous location for a Keeley photoshoot, so you get that show connection plus the real-world scenery.
This stop is valuable for a different reason than the earlier ones. The earlier locations are about specific moments: doors, pubs, bridges. This one is about atmosphere. And on a tour like this, atmosphere is what makes it feel like Richmond is not just a backdrop, but the actual reason the tour works.
In other words, even if you are not chasing every scene detail, the views and the chance to slow down at the end can still make the afternoon feel like a win.
Because this is the last stop before returning to the station, you may want to keep your phone battery charged. If you are planning to take photos here, you do not want to discover your battery is dying right when the river views show up.
How the Best Guides Turn Filming Locations Into Stories

A filming location tour can go one of two ways. It can turn into a list of spots, or it can turn into a story. This one aims for story, thanks to the guide-led narration and the behind-the-scenes framing.
You will hear insider details about the making of the show and cast and crew stories that you would not find on your own. Several guides have been praised for being engaging and interactive, including Emmy, Serena, Jenny, and Vic. Even when people are not huge Ted Lasso fans, they often appreciate that the guide also brings local Richmond context and a good sense of pacing.
One reason the guide matters here is because the stops are not just random. They connect to multiple seasons, and the guide helps you understand how those places function within the story. That reduces the effort you would otherwise put into researching what to look for.
The Afternoon Timing and the Small-Group Size: Why It’s Good Value

The price is listed as $48.61 per person, with a duration of about 2 hours 30 minutes. At face value, it is a straightforward walking tour cost. But the value comes from what is included and what you get access to.
You pay for an expert local guide, and the itinerary is built around multiple filming-location stops, including a dedicated pub segment and scene-specific standing points. The group is capped at 18, which usually helps keep the route from turning into a noisy crowd line.
Also, the tour ends back at Richmond Station. That matters because you are not stuck trying to figure out transport after you walk. You can pivot into independent exploring right away.
One more practical point: the tour is commonly booked around 63 days in advance on average. That suggests it runs regularly enough to plan, but it is also popular among fans. If you are traveling during peak season or on a weekend, I would still book early to protect your preferred time window.
Practical Tips Before You Go (So You Enjoy It More)

This is a walking tour, with moderate fitness expectations. That is good news, since it should not require marathon stamina. Still, do plan like you are walking on real streets, not a theme park path.
A few helpful ideas:
- Wear comfortable shoes. Richmond is scenic, but the ground is still uneven in places.
- Keep your phone ready for fast photos. Several stops are short, including Ted’s door and Richmond Bridge.
- If you want to hear every story, position yourself well around the guide, especially during the earliest parts of the route.
- Budget for a drink at The Crown and Anchor, since food and drink are not included.
And if you are the type who loves trivia and small details, you will likely have a good time. This tour leans into behind-the-scenes context, plus how the show uses these real streets to make scenes feel grounded.
Should You Book the Ted Lasso Tour of Richmond?
Book it if you want:
- Ted Lasso filming locations across all three seasons, not just one favorite batch of scenes.
- A small-group walking experience with time to take photos.
- A tour that includes a real pub pause at The Crown and Anchor plus Richmond Thames views.
Consider skipping or swapping for a different activity if you:
- Want a long, sit-down experience with minimal walking and minimal crowd management.
- Are very sensitive to hearing the guide in busier moments, since a few people have noted that the group size can affect how clearly you catch the narration.
If you fall in the first group, this is a fun, well-structured afternoon in a part of London that is already worth visiting. The show tie-in is strong, but the Richmond setting is what makes it feel like more than a fandom detour.
