Ted Lasso fans, this walks like a show. This 2.5-hour Richmond outing maps key scenes onto real streets, starting at Richmond Station and ending back there with time to keep exploring. I love how the guide ties each stop to what’s going on in the series, so your photos feel connected instead of random.

I also like the pace. You get focused photo and filming-location moments, plus a planned half-hour drink at The Crown and Anchor, which is a character in its own right in the show.

One thing to consider: the experience is capped at 18 people, but one review reported a larger group than expected, making it tougher to hear quieter details. If you’re the type who likes every trivia tidbit, aim to stand where you can actually see and hear the guide.

Richmond Station to Thames views: how the timing works

Plan on about 2 hours 30 minutes on foot. The tour meets at Richmond (London) Station, The Quadrant, Richmond, Greater London TW9 2NA, and it finishes back at the same spot. It’s an afternoon schedule, which matters because it gives you a clean, story-driven block of time before dinner and evening plans.

This is a walking tour with a moderate physical fitness level requirement. Based on what people have shared, it doesn’t come off as punishing. You’re moving at a comfortable pace through central Richmond, with built-in pauses so you can take pictures and listen without sprinting.

Group size is kept to a maximum of 18, which is a big deal for a show-focused tour. When the group stays small, you can actually hear the guide and keep up with where you are in the story beats. Just keep in mind one report about a larger-than-expected group, so if audio quality is a deal-breaker for you, position yourself well early on.

Stop-by-stop: Richmond Green and Ted’s London front door

Ted Lasso Tour of Richmond - Stop-by-stop: Richmond Green and Ted’s London front door
The tour starts with Richmond Green, and this is where the day gets fun fast if you’re paying attention to details. You’ll hit several exteriors tied to scenes across all three seasons, including:

  • the exterior linked to the charity event
  • a walk Nathan takes to reach his parents’ home
  • the home of Rebecca, plus a moment where Ted challenges a girl to play football after a 4-1 loss to Crystal Palace

This opening stop works because it sets the map. Richmond Green gives you recognizable settings and a sense of where key storylines fit into the town’s layout. If you love taking photos that actually line up with the scenes you remember, this is the best place to settle in.

Next comes One Paved Court, with the major payoff: you can get a selfie in front of Ted’s London home front door. That kind of stop is brief on purpose. It keeps the tour moving while giving you the one shot you came for, without turning the day into a long queue.

If you’re not a superfan, that’s still fine. Richmond itself is a scenic place to walk, and Ted’s door moment is a quick, visual anchor. The guide’s job here is to connect the location to the story so you’re not just staring at a building and hoping it’s the right one.

The Crown and Anchor pause: your 30 minutes of show-and-society

Ted Lasso Tour of Richmond - The Crown and Anchor pause: your 30 minutes of show-and-society
The tour’s most relaxed chunk is Richmond-upon-Thames, where you stop at The Crown and Anchor. This is your 30-minute drink break. In show terms, it’s the place where Ted and Coach Beard slow down and think. In real life, it’s a classic British pub moment that gives your legs a rest and gives the group a chance to reset before the bridge and final viewpoint.

Here’s what I think makes this stop valuable: it turns the tour from a photo scavenger hunt into something you can feel. A pub break also helps you stay present. You’re not just “collecting locations.” You’re watching how Richmond actually functions as a town, right along the river.

One practical note: food and drink aren’t included, so you’ll want a bit of cash or a card ready if you plan to buy something. If you’d rather skip buying, that’s your call, but the timing is still useful even if you’re just taking in the atmosphere.

Same day, different London: a few more worth a look

Richmond Bridge: romance, paparazzi, and a double-date setting

Ted Lasso Tour of Richmond - Richmond Bridge: romance, paparazzi, and a double-date setting
Then you head to Richmond Bridge, where the show leans into bigger emotional moments. This stop is built around two high-recognition beats:

  • the spot where Roy Kent and Keeley Jones have a first-date kiss
  • the angle connected to the paparazzi photographing them in secret

If you’re the type who replays scenes for the tiny stuff, this bridge stop is your moment. You can stand where the camera language likely drew from, and you can pair your photos with the memory of the scene. It’s also a great place for people-watching, since bridges attract both locals and day-trippers.

You’ll also have a quick stop by the restaurant tied to the double date with Keeley and Roy and Rebecca and John. That detail matters because it anchors relationships to real places, not just streets. Even if you don’t know the show by heart, it helps the tour feel like a story with chapters instead of a list.

This is also one of the stops where the group’s positioning matters. Since photos and listening happen at the same time, you’ll enjoy it more if you don’t wander too far from the guide while they’re explaining what’s important.

Final views at Richmond: Thames scenery with a show twist

Ted Lasso Tour of Richmond - Final views at Richmond: Thames scenery with a show twist
The last major stop is Richmond, with a lookout-style visit that leans scenic. You’ll get 20 minutes for views over Richmond and the River Thames. And yes, there’s a show connection: this is the location tied to a glamorous Keeley photoshoot moment.

This ending makes practical sense. You finish with a wider setting, which naturally slows everyone down. The day shifts from “find the exact spot” to “look around, take it in, and connect the show to the actual place.”

If you’re planning the rest of your day, this is a smart time to do it. The tour ends back at Richmond Station in mid-afternoon, and this last viewpoint helps you build a mental map for what you’ll do next—river walk, nearby cafes, or continuing through Richmond’s streets.

Price and value: why $48.61 can be worth it

Ted Lasso Tour of Richmond - Price and value: why $48.61 can be worth it
At $48.61 per person, this isn’t a bargain for London. But for what you’re getting, it can feel fair.

Here’s the value equation:

  • Expert local guide: you’re paying for story context and location accuracy, not just walking.
  • Multiple recognizable stops: you’re covering several named filming locations rather than wandering on your own.
  • Time efficiency: a guided route helps you hit the right places without spending your precious sightseeing hours figuring it out.
  • A real break included in the schedule: the stop at The Crown and Anchor gives you a built-in pause, even though drinks aren’t included.

Also, the tour includes a mobile ticket, and confirmation is received when you book. That reduces hassle if you’re juggling multiple activities during your London trip.

If you’re a casual fan, you might feel the value most in the structure: it turns Richmond into a curated walk built around the show. If you’re a serious fan, the value shifts to specificity: doors, bridges, and scene-linked exteriors.

Guides and group vibe: what makes the experience feel A+ or not

Ted Lasso Tour of Richmond - Guides and group vibe: what makes the experience feel A+ or not
One reason people rate this tour so highly is the guide energy. In different runs, guides including Emmy, Serena, Vic, and Jenny were mentioned, and the consistent theme was a guide who keeps the group engaged and willing to answer questions.

A few reviews highlighted guides who are easy to hear, professional, and full of practical local context, not just show trivia. One person even described their guide as a Richmond resident and actress, which tracks with the overall feel: you’re not only watching the show in your head. You’re learning how Richmond works as a real town, and how filming fits into it.

Still, keep that one drawback in mind. If a run ends up with more people than the small-group ideal, listening becomes harder. You can reduce this problem by arriving early, standing where you can see, and taking photos during the exact photo pauses instead of drifting around while the guide is talking.

Who should book this Ted Lasso tour

Ted Lasso Tour of Richmond - Who should book this Ted Lasso tour
This tour is ideal if you want both:

  • Ted Lasso filming locations presented with clear scene connections
  • A real afternoon in Richmond, with river views and classic town atmosphere

You’ll likely enjoy it most if:

  • you’re a fan who likes turning show memories into real-world “I get it now” moments
  • you want a plan that doesn’t require research, routing, or guesswork
  • you like walking tours but want frequent stops for photos and breaks

You might consider a different plan if you:

  • hate walking even for short stretches
  • need very quiet conditions to hear details, since one report mentioned a larger group affecting how well information carried
  • plan to spend your day mainly in central London rather than committing to Richmond as the focus

Also, if you’re coming from central London, a train ride to Richmond is part of the day. One review called it an extra sightseeing bonus, and that makes sense: Richmond is easier to enjoy when you treat the journey as part of the experience, not just a transfer.

Should you book the Ted Lasso Tour of Richmond?

If you’re even moderately into the show, I’d book it. The price is reasonable for a guided, scene-linked walk that also gives you a proper Richmond afternoon. The tour’s biggest strength is that it doesn’t treat the locations like random checkboxes. It treats them like scenes with context.

If you’re on the fence, here’s a simple way to decide:

  • Book if you want specific filming-location stops plus a pub break and Thames views.
  • Pass or compare alternatives if you care more about broad sightseeing than show-specific details, or if you’re extremely sensitive to audio and group size.

Either way, Richmond itself is a strong reason to go. This tour simply gives you a fun way to see the town through the lens of Ted Lasso.
