Richmond: Ted Lasso Guided Walking Tour

Believe is easier in Richmond. This 2.5-hour walking tour follows Ted Lasso through more than 12 filming sites across all three seasons, pairing show trivia with the real streets, pubs, homes, and river views of South West London. I especially like the chance to stand outside Ted’s front door and the stop at the Crown and Anchor, where you can order a drink in Ted’s local.

The guides bring plenty of energy and behind-the-scenes stories. Emmy, Carly, Vic, Sandy, Bruce, and Matt have all led memorable tours, with several guides adding knowledge of acting or film production. The main consideration is the weather: the tour runs rain or shine, and muddy or wet conditions can make the walk less comfortable, particularly for anyone with limited mobility.

Key points before you book

• More than 12 filming locations: See places used throughout all three seasons, including Ted’s door, Rebecca’s home, Bernard’s house, the Crown and Anchor, and Roy and Keeley’s first-date spot.
• A real drink stop: The Crown and Anchor is a working local pub, so you can pause where Ted spent time in the show. The drink is not listed as included in the tour price.
• Strong guide quality: Guides such as Emmy and Carly are praised for enthusiasm, local knowledge, show details, and easygoing group leadership.
• Easy London day trip: The meeting point is directly outside Richmond Railway Station, with simple rail access from central London.
• A scenic finish: The walk ends near the spot used for Keeley’s photo shoot, with a view over the River Thames.
• Plan for outdoor conditions: Wear comfortable shoes and bring clothing suitable for rain, since the walk goes ahead in all weather.

Starting outside Richmond Station

The tour begins outside the main entrance and exit of Richmond Railway Station. When you leave the station, turn left and look for the little card store and the building marked Station Building. Arrive at least five minutes early so you are not searching for the group as the guide gathers everyone.

This is one of the tour’s best practical features. Richmond is easy to reach from central London and other parts of the region, so you do not need to arrange a complicated transfer. The station also gives you a clear meeting point in a busy town.

From the start, you are in a useful position to see Richmond beyond the television show. The town has its own character, and the walk uses the filming locations as a way into local streets and public spaces rather than treating the area as a movie set alone.

The group size can vary, but some tours have had fewer than 10 people. That size makes it easier to ask questions, hear the guide, and get help with photographs. You should still expect a public walking tour, not a private outing, so the pace and stops are shared with the group.

Ted’s front door and the first photo stops

One of the tour’s simple pleasures is seeing Ted’s front door in person. On screen, it is a familiar part of Ted’s London life. In Richmond, it becomes a very ordinary residential location, which is part of the fun. You are looking at a real door in a real neighborhood, not a built set designed for visitors.

Bring your phone or camera. The guide allows time for photographs and can take pictures of you in front of the door. Emmy is singled out for remembering this photo opportunity, so it is worth asking your guide to help if your group moves on quickly.

The stop also gives the guide a chance to explain how the location was used in the series. Screen images help you match the real building with its appearance in the show. That comparison matters because filming can change your sense of scale and direction. A spot that seems central in an episode may be tucked into a quieter corner of Richmond.

Finding the Crown and Anchor

The Crown and Anchor is the tour’s most social stop. It is Ted’s local pub in the show and one of the locations most fans are eager to see. You can enjoy a drink there, but plan to pay for it yourself because the tour includes the guide, not refreshments.

This pause breaks up the walking and gives the group a natural place to talk about the pub scenes. It also lets you see how a fictional football-world hangout fits into a real Richmond setting. For many people, this is more satisfying than simply taking a quick photograph outside.

I would not treat the pub stop as a long meal break. The tour lasts 2.5 hours and includes many locations, so the stop is best viewed as a short drink and photo opportunity. If you want lunch or a longer pub visit, save that for after the walk.

The pub is also a good reason to leave extra time in Richmond. Several people have stayed in the area afterward to eat, shop, visit Richmond Green, or sit and enjoy the town. The tour can easily become the first part of a full day rather than your only activity.

Roy, Keeley, Rebecca, and Bernard’s Richmond

The route includes the place where Roy and Keeley had their first date. Fans will recognize the emotional importance of the scene, while the guide adds the practical side: how the location appears on screen, what surrounds it in real life, and which details you may have missed.

You also visit locations used as Rebecca’s home and Bernard’s home. Bernard is connected to the scene in which he must apologize to Phoebe for being mean to her, giving this stop a character link rather than a purely architectural one.

These locations show the range of the series. The tour is not limited to one pub or one famous doorway. It traces homes, streets, meeting places, and views linked to different characters, so you get a fuller picture of how Richmond became AFC Richmond’s fictional home.

The guide uses images from the show to make each stop easier to recognize. This is important because filming locations can look quite different without the actors, costumes, camera angles, and editing. If you watched the series some time ago, the screen images will help refresh your memory.

Behind-the-scenes details that add value

The strongest part of the tour is not simply reaching a location. It is learning how the show used that place. Guides explain production details, character connections, and small visual clues that are easy to overlook while watching at home.

Emmy has been praised for her enthusiasm and for her understanding of both Ted Lasso and Richmond. Carly is noted for her stories about the actors and filming locations. Other guides, including Vic and Sandy, have been praised for explaining how scenes were made and for bringing extra energy to the walk.

One guide, Bruce, was especially appreciated for balancing show anecdotes, Richmond history, background information, and humor without overloading the group. That balance is useful. A tour made up only of television trivia would give you little reason to care about the town, while a general Richmond walk would not satisfy a Ted Lasso fan.

Some guides also have experience as actors or in the film industry. Their comments can help you understand how locations work in production, though the exact guide and the details shared will depend on the departure. Do not expect every group to receive the same stories word for word.

The guides also appear to make an effort to involve the whole group. Several accounts describe them taking photos, speaking with people individually, and keeping the mood cheerful in poor weather. That personal touch can make a difference on a walking tour, especially when the route includes frequent pauses.

Richmond beyond the show

I like that the tour gives you a reason to notice Richmond itself. The show provides the theme, but the walk also introduces the local streets, public areas, and riverside setting that make the town attractive even if you are not a devoted fan.

Richmond Green is one place you may want to visit afterward. It is not presented as the final tour stop, but people have used the rest of the day to sit there and enjoy the town. You can also leave time for food and shopping nearby.

The final viewpoint is a particularly good finish. The tour ends at the location associated with Keeley’s photo shoot, with a beautiful view over the River Thames. After several hours of matching scenes to real buildings, the river gives the walk a change of pace and a clear visual ending.

This finish also helps the tour feel like a local outing rather than a checklist of television addresses. You end with a view and a sense of place. If the weather is kind, it is a good moment for another photograph.

Walking pace, weather, and comfort

The route lasts 2.5 hours, so comfortable shoes are essential. You will be outside for the entire experience, and the tour takes place rain or shine. Recent departures have gone ahead in pouring rain, mud, and unpleasant weather, with guides keeping the mood upbeat, but you should not underestimate the need for waterproof clothing.

There is no promise of shelter at every stop. Rain can make photographs less appealing, and muddy ground can slow the walk. A dry day will make the experience easier, but fans have still enjoyed the tour in poor conditions because the guide keeps the group moving and engaged.

The tour is not suitable for people with mobility impairments. The supplied information does not give a detailed step-free route or a full description of surfaces, seating, or restroom access. If you need regular breaks or have difficulty walking for 2.5 hours, contact the provider before booking.

You should also remember that this is a walking tour of active residential and commercial areas. The locations are real places, not a dedicated attraction built for the show. Be respectful around homes and follow the guide’s instructions when taking photographs.

Is $47 a fair price?

At $47 per person, this is not the cheapest way to look at a few Richmond locations. You could find some filming spots independently with enough research and a map. The price pays for more than the addresses, though: you are buying a guided route, show images, location context, local background, photography help, and behind-the-scenes stories.

The value is strongest if you are a serious Ted Lasso fan. Seeing more than 12 sites from all three seasons in one organized walk saves research time and helps you understand why each place matters. A guide can also point out details you might miss on your own.

It is still a fair choice for a casual fan who wants a pleasant half-day trip from London. Richmond itself adds value, and the river view and local streets would make the outing worthwhile even if your show knowledge is not perfect.

The price is less attractive if you dislike organized tours, want to move at your own pace, or only care about one or two specific locations. In that case, you may prefer an independent visit. You will also need to budget separately for any drink at the Crown and Anchor, food, transport, or shopping.

The rating is 4.9 from 170 reviews, and the praise is remarkably consistent about the guides. That does not remove the normal limits of a group walk, but it suggests that the human side of the experience is a major part of its value.

Who will enjoy this tour most?

You should book if you have watched all or most of Ted Lasso and want to connect scenes with real places. Fans who enjoy character details, filming tricks, and behind-the-scenes stories will get the most from the guide’s commentary.

It also suits couples, families with older children, and groups of friends who want a themed day out near London. The walk is social without requiring you to spend the whole day inside a museum or stadium.

You do not need to be an expert on the show. The screen images and character references help explain each stop, and the Richmond material gives the outing interest beyond television.

I would be more cautious if you have limited mobility, dislike wet-weather walking, or expect access to private interiors. Much of the pleasure comes from standing outside and recognizing the setting, so the experience depends on your enjoyment of places as much as on the show itself.

Practical booking advice

Book with the weather in mind. Since cancellation is free up to three days in advance for a full refund, check the terms for your booking and keep that deadline in your calendar.

Meet outside Richmond Station at least five minutes early. Wear comfortable shoes, bring a rain layer, and keep your phone ready for pictures. If you want a drink at the Crown and Anchor, bring a little extra money and allow time after the tour for food or a relaxed visit to Richmond Green.

The tour is conducted in English with a live guide. The exact guide may be Emmy, Carly, Vic, Sandy, Bruce, Matt, or another member of the team, so do not book expecting a particular person unless the booking page specifically confirms it.

Should you book the Richmond Ted Lasso tour?

If Ted Lasso is one of your favorite shows, I would book it. The combination of more than 12 locations, a real pub stop, Ted’s front door, character homes, behind-the-scenes stories, and the Thames viewpoint gives you a well-shaped 2.5-hour experience.

The best reason to go is the guide. Emmy, Carly, Vic, Sandy, Bruce, and the other hosts have made the tour feel warm, funny, and personal, not like a dry list of addresses. You should skip it only if a group walking tour or all-weather conditions do not suit you.

For most fans, $47 is a reasonable price for a carefully organized Richmond outing. Leave time afterward to eat, shop, visit Richmond Green, and see more of the town that helped bring AFC Richmond to life.
