Richmond turns into a Ted Lasso set in two hours. This private walking tour from Richmond Station strings together Ted Lasso filming locations with classic riverside London scenes and local-history stops, guided by London-born Sean.

I love the private attention and the fact the route can be tailored to what you care about most, so you’re not stuck in a one-size-fits-all script. I also love the practical show help: Sean uses screenshots on the spot so you can match the streets and corners to the episodes fast.

One possible drawback: you’ll walk hills, and if the weather is wet you might deal with mud, so bring comfortable, grippy shoes and expect a real stroll.

Key things to know before you go

• Private tour, just your group with guide attention all the way through
• Sean’s episode screenshots help you line up filming locations with what you remember
• Richmond Green to the Thames gives you river views plus old-school neighborhood texture
• Plenty of photo time at Ted Lasso spots, not just a quick stop-and-go
• Official Ted Lasso store stop plus time to grab something to eat
• Traditional pub finish with fantastic views, and a calm end to the walk

Richmond’s Ted Lasso stops feel real, not staged

This is the kind of tour that works even if you’re not trying to be the most hardcore fan in the room. Yes, the whole point is Ted Lasso filming locations in and around Richmond-upon-Thames. But what makes it satisfying is that the show spots are built into a real neighborhood walk, not a theme-park circuit.

You start at Richmond Station and head into Richmond Green, then down toward the Thames bank. After that, the route turns uphill again toward the end-of-tour pub, with views that make the work worth it. The guide doesn’t just read directions; Sean ties what you’re seeing to scenes you recognize, which changes how you look at the streets.

And since it’s private-only for your group, you can ask questions without worrying about slowing down the entire schedule. If you want more show trivia, you’ll get it. If you’d rather ask about Richmond itself, you can steer there.

What the 2-hour walk actually looks like

The tour runs about two hours, and the pacing is built around giving you time to stop, take photos, and soak in the setting. There’s no long bus ride, no waiting around. You’re moving on foot from stop to stop, with photo breaks woven in.

The broad flow goes like this:

• Meet at Richmond Station (The Quadrant, Richmond TW9 2NA)
• Walk from Richmond Green toward the Thames
• Return uphill through town toward the final pub stop
• End back in the station area after the pub views

The itinerary can also be tailored to your interests, which matters because Richmond has a lot going on. The tour can fit more “look at this exact corner from the episode” time, or more “here’s the history and how Richmond grew” time.

Richmond Station to Richmond Green: where the tour sets the mood

Your first stretch begins at Richmond Station. This is a good start point because it’s easy to reach by public transportation. You’re also not walking in blind: the guide leads you from the moment you meet.

From there, Richmond Green is where the tour starts to click. You’re in a pocket of town that feels like classic London without being chaotic. The guide uses this early area to get you oriented and helps you see the route as a series of recognizable “episode matches,” not random filming spots.

If you’re a photo person, this is also a smart time to set up your camera rhythm. The terrain starts gently, so you can focus on framing rather than fighting the climb.

Down to the Thames: photo ops with river air

One of the best parts of this tour is the walk down toward the Thames River bank. The Thames doesn’t just look scenic here; it gives you context. You’re seeing why Richmond’s reputation as a riverside escape makes sense, even when you’re still inside Greater London.

Expect a mix of show-linked moments and real neighborhood atmosphere:

• Streets and angles that help you picture what the camera likely used
• Time for photos at the filming locations
• A guide who points out details you’d miss on your own

Sean’s screenshots are especially useful in this stretch. Instead of you trying to remember where a scene was shot while walking (which is tough), you’re offered quick visual anchors that help you match what you’re seeing right now with what you watched before.

If the weather is nice, this is a great segment to slow down and take it in. If it’s wet, it’s still worth going, but you’ll want that grip in your shoes.

The uphill part: hills are part of Richmond, plan for them

You’ll notice the “working” side of Richmond on this route. The walk winds downhill toward the river, then uphill again toward the end of the tour. Reviews highlight that hills are real here, and I’d take that seriously.

Also, if you travel in rainy season, you might run into muddy sections. That doesn’t make the tour bad. It just means you should:

• Wear comfortable shoes you don’t mind getting a little dirty
• Keep your pace steady on the slopes

A moderate physical fitness level is recommended, and that’s fair. This is not a stroller-friendly walk and it may not suit anyone who wants a completely flat, low-effort outing.

The Ted Lasso store stop: more than a quick photo

This tour doesn’t treat the show like a drive-by. You’ll have time to visit the official store during the route, plus chances for photos around filming locations.

I like this because it gives you a “real trip” feeling. You’re not only looking at where scenes were filmed; you also get to pick up something from the show world while you’re in the actual filming area.

There’s even time mentioned to grab an Empanada. That doesn’t mean a full meal is guaranteed inside the tour price, but it does mean the stop is built to fit in something casual while you’re out walking.

The final stop at a traditional pub with views

The tour ends at a traditional pub with fantastic views. Even if you’re not ordering alcohol, this kind of finish is smart. It lets you put the camera away for a minute and just enjoy the setting.

A key detail: alcoholic beverages aren’t included. So if you want a pint or something else, plan on paying separately. The good news is you’re not locked into a drink stop. You’re finishing the walk in a place that adds payoff to the route.

One more practical note: the activity is described as ending back at the meeting point. In practice, that means you’ll be close to Richmond Station again once you wrap up, so you’re not stranded far from transit.

Why the guide’s approach matters (Sean’s screenshots and flexible route)

A tour like this lives or dies on the guide, and Sean is clearly the reason people keep saying this is a must-do. His focus blends two things:

• Ted Lasso accuracy, with screenshots you can reference as you walk
• Richmond context, so it’s not only fandom trivia

That blend is what makes the tour feel worth it. If you only get filming locations, it can become a checklist. If you only get history, the show connection can fade. Here, the guide ties both together.

The other winning move is flexibility. The tour can be tailored to your interests, which is a big deal when you have mixed priorities in the group. One person might want every exact scene match. Another might just want to see more of Richmond and learn what makes the town tick.

And because it’s private, you get that “your day, your pace” advantage without having to fight for attention.

Value check: is $67.52 worth it?

At $67.52 per person for roughly two hours, this isn’t a free-stuff walking tour. But the value is in what you’re buying:

• Private-only attention for your group
• A guide who can connect filming locations to what you’re seeing now
• Time for photos and an end spot with views

If you’re a Ted Lasso fan, you’re effectively paying for a shortcut to the “where” and “why” behind the show’s Richmond look. Without a guide, you could still explore Richmond on your own, but you’d likely lose time hunting for the exact spots and miss the show context that makes the corners click.

If you’re not a big fan, you may still love it because Richmond itself is a strong draw. Still, I’d suggest booking with realistic expectations: this is a walk centered on show locations and local context, not a museum-style deep lecture.

Who should book this Ted Lasso and Richmond walking tour

This tour is a great fit if:

• You want Ted Lasso filming locations in a walkable, scenic part of London
• You like neighborhood exploring with a guide who can answer questions
• You enjoy photo stops but also want some genuine local context
• Your group values a private tour where you can set the pace

It may be less ideal if:

• You need a fully flat route with minimal walking
• You dislike hills and rough ground during wet weather
• You’re only interested in indoors attractions or don’t want to be outside

If you’re combining Richmond with nearby days, Richmond works well as a change of scenery from central London. One person even paired it after time in Kew Gardens, and that’s a very logical way to use the day since these areas are close.
