Ted Lasso fans get a new Richmond map. This 2.5-hour guided walking tour sends you through more than 12 locations tied to the show, with a local fan guide who helps you connect what you see on screen to what’s on the street. I especially like the selfie moment at Ted’s door and the chance to stop for a drink at Ted’s local Crown and Anchor. The one thing to plan for is weather, because this tour runs rain or shine and can get muddy.

The best part is the human touch. You’ll meet guides such as Emmy, Carly, Bruce, Matt, Vic, and Sandy, and the common thread is energy and storytelling, plus lots of time for pictures as you move between scenes. It’s also a smart way to see Richmond beyond the show, because you get local context while you walk.

You start at Richmond Station, outside the main entrance or exit. Exit the station, turn left, and look for the little card store and the building that says Station Building, then arrive at least 5 minutes early.

Key highlights at a glance

• Ted’s door selfie plus guided photo stops that fit the pacing
• Crown and Anchor pub stop for a drink at the show’s local spot
• More than 12 sites across all three seasons, tied to specific moments
• Scene-to-street comparisons, including images of how locations were used
• Character landmarks, like Roy and Keeley’s first date, and Phoebe’s apology storyline
• Finish with Keeley’s photo shoot vista, overlooking the River Thames

Starting at Richmond Station: the easiest launch point

If you are staying in central London, Richmond is one of those places that feels like a clean day trip choice. The tour starts at Richmond Railway Station, and the directions are refreshingly simple: get outside the main entrance or exit, turn left, and find the little card store and the building labeled Station Building.

That matters because timing is the whole game on a walking tour. You will want those extra minutes to get the group together and avoid that late-comer shuffle. Also, because the tour is rain or shine, starting with everyone oriented and ready is a big deal.

The route then becomes your guide. You are not just sightseeing Richmond in general. You are walking a show-connected circuit, with stops designed around scenes and key character locations.

The show-to-street magic: why Ted’s door works so well

The headliner moment is a big one: you get a chance to get a selfie in front of Ted’s door. This is one of those “blink and you miss it” filming-location types of moments, where the street view is normal until your guide points out the exact connection to the series.

What I like about this approach is that it turns the show into a practical experience. Instead of simply watching clips later, you learn what to look for in real life: the angles, the entrances, and the general vibe that the production used to sell the story.

You will also see show images showing how a location was used. That gives you instant context, especially if you do not remember the episode instantly. Even if you are not a superfan, it still works, because the guide explains what the location is standing in for.

Ted’s local pub stop: Crown and Anchor for the AFC vibe

One of the highlights is a stop for a drink at Ted’s local Crown and Anchor. This is valuable beyond the obvious fun, because it gives you a break in the middle of a focused walking stretch.

Think of it as two things at once:

1. a scene-anchored setting that connects you to the show’s warmth and community feel, and
2. a chance to recharge before the story landmarks start stacking up again.

Also, Richmond is all about strolling, then stopping. The pub moment fits that rhythm. If you like having something to do with your hands and your time besides just looking at buildings, this is the kind of stop that keeps the tour comfortable.

Plan to grab a drink if that is your thing. The tour experience clearly expects you to enjoy the pub moment as part of the day.

Roy and Keeley’s first date: when romance becomes architecture

Later, you visit the spot where Roy and Keeley had their first date. This kind of stop is great because it shows you how production choices rely on everyday streets.

For you, the payoff is recognition. Romantic scenes often stick in your head because of the emotion. Seeing the location in daylight helps you understand why it felt that way onscreen. The guide’s job here is to connect the dots, so you leave with a memory that feels clearer than just a screenshot.

And it is not only about the couple. These stops also help you move through Richmond in a way that feels themed, which makes the 2.5 hours fly by.

Residential storylines: Rebecca and Bernard’s Richmond homes

One of the strengths of this tour is that it goes beyond the easy-to-spot public places. You also visit the homes of Rebecca and Bernard, including the location tied to Bernard having to apologize to Phoebe for being mean to her.

This is where a show-connected walking tour becomes more than a fan scavenger hunt. Residential landmarks bring tone. They remind you that the series is built on character dynamics, not just stadium-scale moments.

It also helps you appreciate Richmond as a place where stories could plausibly live. Even if you are watching with fresh eyes, the neighborhood feel makes the characters’ world feel grounded.

You are not just staring at doors. The guide ties each location to what was happening in the story, and you get those behind-the-scenes details that explain why a street view can become a set.

More than 12 Ted Lasso sites across all three seasons

The tour covers more than 12 sites and draws from all three seasons. That breadth is part of the value.

Here is why it matters for you: if the tour only focused on a single season, it would feel like a greatest-hits walk. Instead, you get a fuller sense of how the show used Richmond as a consistent backdrop while the character web expanded.

You will also see images showing how the locations were used. That reduces the guessing game, especially for storylines you might not remember perfectly.

And because the guide is a local fan, the pacing tends to feel like a guided storyline rather than a checklist. That is the difference between an “I saw a bunch of places” outing and a “I understand what I saw” outing.

The Richmond context you actually want, not just trivia

As you walk, you also get local history of this charming area of South West London. I like this because it keeps the tour from turning into only show talk. Richmond is worth seeing on its own, and the guide helps you understand why it looks the way it does.

It is also a practical way to enjoy your time after the tour. When you finish, you are not stuck wondering where to go next. You already have bearings. You understand the feel of Richmond, and you can keep wandering toward the places that interest you.

A lot of people love to extend the day in Richmond itself, including grabbing food, shopping, or finding a spot to relax in Richmond Green after the tour.

Finishing at Keeley’s photo shoot vista over the Thames

The tour ends at the location where Keeley has her photo shoot, with a beautiful vista overlooking the River Thames.

That finish is smart for two reasons:

1. you end with a view, not a bottleneck, and
2. the vista gives your brain a clean landing after all the scene reminders.

You get the best of both worlds. You are closing a show-themed journey with a real, recognizable piece of London life. The Thames angle makes the whole walk feel more like a day out, less like a mission.

If you like getting photos, this is the moment for it. It also sets you up for easy onward plans, since the area around the river is exactly where people naturally want to keep going.

Price and time: is $47 worth it

The price is $47 per person, and for what you get, it is pretty reasonable.

You are paying for:

• a live local guide who knows the show and the area,
• 2.5 hours of structured walking across a set route,
• more than 12 show-connected stops,
• photo moments built into the experience, including the selfie at Ted’s door, and
• a mix of production context plus Richmond neighborhood context.

For comparison, many city walking experiences charge similar money, but do not include a tight theme plus multiple scene-linked locations. Here, the value comes from density. You do not just visit one highlight and call it a day. You get a chain of locations that add up.

Is it for everyone? If you are only casually curious about the show, you might find it a bit focused. If you love Ted Lasso, it becomes the kind of activity that changes how you watch the series when you go back home.

What to bring and how to handle rain or mud

This tour takes place rain or shine, so plan for wet pavement. The tour specifically recommends comfortable shoes, and that is not just legal fine print. Richmond streets can feel slippery when the weather turns.

Bring the basics that keep you comfortable:

• comfortable walking shoes you trust on damp ground, and
• a rain layer if the forecast looks messy.

Also remember the tone of the experience is outdoors. There is no mention of indoor cover replacing the full walk. So your best move is to dress for the weather and keep walking.

Who should book this Ted Lasso walk

This tour is a strong match if you fall into one (or more) of these buckets:

• You are a Ted Lasso fan who wants to connect scenes to real locations.
• You want a London day trip that mixes show fandom with an actual sense of place.
• You like guides who tell stories and make time for pictures, not just announcements at each stop.
• You enjoy low-pressure group wandering where the route gives structure.

It is not a good fit if you have mobility concerns. The tour is not suitable for people with mobility impairments, so you should consider alternatives that involve less walking.

Book it, or skip it? My practical take

Book it if you want a themed walking experience that still feels like Richmond. The Ted’s door selfie, the Crown and Anchor drink stop, and the ending with Keeley’s Thames vista make it feel like more than a checklist. Plus, the guide-led storytelling across multiple seasons is the kind of value that sticks.

Skip it if you do not want show-focused stops, or if you strongly dislike rain walking. Since the tour runs in poor weather too, your comfort level matters.

If you are undecided, think about this: in 2.5 hours, you get a compact “Ted Lasso in real life” experience paired with a beautiful walk through one of London’s nicest riverside areas. That combination is hard to beat for the money.
