Private Ted Lasso Filming Locations Tour

Richmond brings Ted Lasso to life. This private half-day outing takes you from Victoria Station to the London suburb used for many of the show’s most familiar scenes, including the riverside, Richmond Green, Ted’s apartment street, and the pub known on screen as The Crown and Anchor. I especially like the one-to-one attention from guide Richard and the way the tour adds local history to the television locations.

I also like the practical format. You travel together on the Underground, walk at a relaxed pace, and have time to stop at The Prince’s Head for a drink or lunch if a table is available. The main drawback is the price, $213.59 per person, which is a serious spend for three to four hours, particularly if you are visiting alone.

The tour has earned a 5 out of 5 rating from 45 reviews, with 100 percent of participants recommending it. That strong record makes sense: Richard brings scene photos, answers questions, and adjusts the outing to the group. Just remember that food, drinks, and Underground fares are not included.

Key points before you book

• Richmond is the real attraction as well as the show: You get a pleasant riverside walk, an open green, local shops, and a pretty town setting beyond the television references.
• Richard adds scene-by-scene context: He uses photographs to show how each location appeared on screen, which helps you match the real street to the finished episode.
• The Prince’s Head is the main social stop: It is the real pub used for Ted’s local, though a table is subject to availability and any meal or drink costs extra.
• This is a genuinely private experience: Your group has the guide’s full attention, so you can ask about episodes, actors, filming, or Richmond itself.
• You need a contactless card: London Underground travel is escorted, but you must tap in and out with a contactless debit or credit card.
• Allow extra time after the tour: Richmond has enough shops, restaurants, and pleasant streets to reward staying for lunch, dinner, or a self-guided wander.

Starting at Victoria Station and heading for Richmond

The meeting point is outside The Shakespeare at Platform 229 on Buckingham Palace Road, close to Victoria Station. Richard meets you there and travels with you on the London Underground toward Richmond, taking care of the route while explaining how to tap in and out.

That escort matters if you are still getting used to London transport. Several people have praised the clear meeting instructions and the help with using the Tube, so this can be a friendly introduction to the system as well as a television tour.

You will need your own contactless debit or credit card for the Underground. The tour includes the guided travel, but not the fare itself. Make sure your card is ready before you meet, and remember that everyone in your group needs a way to tap in and out.

The journey and initial orientation take about an hour. That may sound long for a tour transfer, but Richmond is outside central London and the time gives Richard room to introduce the area before the walking portion begins. You are not simply being dropped at a station and told to find the first location.

Richmond Riverside: Ted Lasso beside the Thames

Richmond Riverside is one of the most appealing parts of the experience. The route follows the path along the River Thames, a setting used for several scenes and a good place to see why the production chose Richmond.

You can expect roughly 20 minutes here. That is enough for photographs and a look at the scenes, though not enough for a long riverside stroll. If you enjoy quiet waterside views more than television trivia, you may wish to return after the organized tour.

This stop also helps place Ted Lasso in a real London community. Richmond does not feel like a studio set. It is a lived-in part of southwest London, and the river walk gives the outing a pleasant rhythm before the more concentrated location stops begin.

Richard’s photographs are useful here. Standing in the real location while seeing the matching frame from the show makes the connection much clearer than a guide simply pointing toward a street corner. You can ask about the scene, the actors, or how the setting was used.

Richmond Green and the football connection

Richmond Green is an open park in the center of the town. The show uses it for the scene in which Ted encourages a young girl during a kickabout, and it is also close to Ted’s apartment location and local pub.

The scheduled stop is short, around 10 minutes. That is enough for a quick explanation and photographs, but it is not a full park visit. If you want to sit, watch local football, or take your time with the setting, plan to return later.

I like this stop because it captures the ordinary side of the show. Ted Lasso often works best when it places warm, funny moments in familiar public spaces rather than grand landmarks. Richmond Green gives you that everyday setting, and Richard adds local background rather than treating the park as only a television prop.

The area is also a useful point for orientation. From here, several of the show’s key sites are close together, so the walking section feels connected rather than scattered across London.

The Prince’s Head, the real pub behind The Crown and Anchor

The Prince’s Head is the centerpiece for many fans. On screen, it becomes Ted’s local pub, The Crown and Anchor, and it is linked to the memorable darts match with Rupert.

The planned stop lasts about 30 minutes. If a table is available, you can sit down for a drink or lunch. Food and drinks are not included, so budget for them separately. The chance to pause inside the actual pub gives the tour a social moment that photographs alone cannot provide.

There is one important limitation: a table is not guaranteed. The pub may be busy, and the timing depends on availability. I would treat the stop as a welcome possibility rather than the sole reason to book. If you do get a table, you can relax, eat, and discuss the show with Richard. If you do not, you still see one of the principal filming locations.

Several people have chosen to stay in Richmond for dinner after the tour, which is sensible. The town has shops and places to eat, and the pub stop can be the start of a longer visit rather than the end of your day.

One Paved Court and Ted’s apartment street

One Paved Court provides a different kind of television-location pleasure. This pretty alleyway and the surrounding streets feature heavily in the show and serve as the location for Ted’s apartment.

The stop lasts about 15 minutes. You can take photographs, compare the real street with Richard’s scene images, and look at the small shops nearby. Some stores sell Ted Lasso-related items, adding a chance to pick up a souvenir without making the tour feel like a shopping trip.

This part of the walk is especially good for fans who enjoy recognizing small details. The apartment itself is a filming location, not a place to enter, and the tour focuses on the exterior streets. Please keep in mind that these are real public spaces and residential surroundings, so photographs should be taken with ordinary courtesy.

The narrow lanes also give you a feel for Richmond beyond the television show. One of the tour’s strengths is that the show’s locations are woven into a real town, rather than presented as isolated attractions.

Why Richard’s guiding makes a difference

Richard receives the strongest praise for his preparation, friendly manner, and command of both the show and Richmond. He does not simply list addresses. He brings photographs that match the scenes, points out where you should stand, and helps you see what changed between the filmed image and the real location.

That visual aid is valuable. Television scenes are edited, framed, and sometimes filmed from angles that are hard to recognize in person. A photograph removes the guesswork. You can stand in a street, look at the image, and understand exactly how the production used the space.

Richard also adds British and local history along the way. If you only want show facts, you can keep the conversation focused on episodes and actors. If you are curious about the town itself, he can broaden the discussion. This flexibility is one reason the private format works well.

The reviews also highlight his communication before the tour and his attention to physical needs during the walk. The experience involves Underground travel and several walking stops, but the guide can pay attention to your pace because the booking is private. Service animals are allowed, and most people can take part.

How much walking and time should you expect?

The total duration is about three to four hours. The itinerary includes approximately one hour around the Richmond arrival and orientation, 20 minutes at the riverside, 10 minutes on Richmond Green, 30 minutes at the pub, 15 minutes at One Paved Court, and around 30 minutes for the escorted return to Victoria Station or Westminster.

Those listed times are approximate, not a promise that every stop will run like a train timetable. Questions, photographs, the pub, and the group’s walking pace can affect the day. The private setup allows you to spend more time on a favorite location, but you should still wear comfortable shoes.

This is not a strenuous hike, yet it is not a seated bus tour. You walk between several nearby locations and use public transport at the beginning and end. If you want a slower outing, tell Richard about your needs in advance.

The return can be to Victoria Station or Westminster if preferred. The stated end point is back at the meeting point, so confirm your preferred return arrangement when booking.

Is $213.59 per person good value?

At $213.59 per person, this tour is expensive compared with a self-guided visit to Richmond. You can take the Tube yourself, walk along the river, find Richmond Green, locate The Prince’s Head, and photograph One Paved Court without paying for a guide.

The price makes more sense if you value context and convenience. You are paying for a private guide, escorted Underground travel, scene photographs, local information, and the freedom to ask as many questions as you like. A private booking also means you are not sharing the guide with a large group or waiting for strangers to finish taking pictures.

For two or more people, the cost may feel more reasonable because you share the private experience within your own group. Group discounts are available, although the exact saving is not specified. If you are a serious Ted Lasso fan and would otherwise spend hours researching locations, Richard’s preparation can save time and make each stop more meaningful.

The value is weaker if you only want a quick photo at The Prince’s Head. It is stronger if you want a half-day in Richmond, a guided introduction to the town, and detailed help connecting real places to specific scenes.

Who will enjoy this tour most?

This outing is best for Ted Lasso fans who want more than a single pub photograph. You will get the most from it if you have watched enough of the show to recognize the locations and enjoy talking about individual scenes.

It also suits couples, families, and small groups who prefer a private pace. You can ask about favorite episodes, pause for pictures, and discuss the town without worrying about a large group’s schedule.

You do not need to be a television expert. Richard’s local background makes the experience worthwhile for anyone who enjoys a guided walk in a pleasant London suburb. One of the most appealing aspects is that Richmond remains worth visiting even if your interest in the show is modest.

You may want to skip it if your London schedule is extremely tight, if the price is outside your budget, or if you dislike walking and public transport. You should also avoid booking solely for a guaranteed pub meal, since table availability is not assured.

Practical details that affect the day

Confirmation is provided at booking, and free cancellation is available up to 24 hours before the local start time. Cancellations or changes made inside that window are not refunded or accepted.

The tour is offered in English. It is a private activity, so only your group participates. It is near public transport, service animals are allowed, and the experience is suitable for most people.

Bring a contactless debit or credit card for the Underground, comfortable shoes, and enough money for a drink or meal at the pub. A phone or camera is useful because the tour includes many photo opportunities, though Richard’s matching scene images are part of what helps the locations make sense.

Allow extra time after the formal tour if you can. Richmond has shops, restaurants, and attractive streets, and several people have wished they had more time to explore independently. A half-day tour can easily become a fuller Richmond visit.

Should you book the private Ted Lasso tour?

I would book this tour if you want a personal, well-paced look at the show’s Richmond locations and appreciate a guide who can connect television scenes with local stories. Richard’s use of photographs, his help with the Tube, and his attention to individual interests add real value.

I would not book it if you are looking for the cheapest way to see the sites or if you need a guaranteed pub lunch. The $213.59 price is a premium, but the private format and guide-led storytelling explain where that money goes.

For committed fans, the combination of The Prince’s Head, Richmond Green, the riverside, and Ted’s apartment street makes a memorable half-day. For everyone else, Richmond itself may be the deciding factor. You get a pleasant part of southwest London with a television bonus attached.
