Richmond by the Thames turns into a Ted Lasso map, and it makes London feel smaller and friendlier. I like the small-group pace, and I also like that your guide ties each stop to what was happening on screen, then adds local Richmond context. One thing to consider: even though it’s capped at 18, you will still be walking with a group, so pick a spot where you can hear your guide clearly if it gets crowded.

Starting at Richmond Station means you are already in the right vibe, not stuck in a big meeting room first. I also appreciate the way the tour mixes photo stops with real time to enjoy Richmond, not just hustle from one wall to the next. If you hate walking, this might feel like more than you want, since the tour is a proper on-foot route and the physical level is listed as moderate.

Guides like Emmy, Serena, Vic, and Jenny are mentioned in past departures, and the common thread is clear, engaging storytelling plus good volume. The half-day timing matters too, because you end back at the station with time to keep exploring. Expect Ted Lasso fans to love it most, but you do not have to be a die-hard to enjoy the town walks and river views.

What Makes the Ted Lasso Tour of Richmond Worth Your Time

• A true Richmond walking route that feels local, not staged
• Show scenes across all three seasons, tied to real streets and landmarks
• Pub time at The Crown and Anchor, where multiple scenes were filmed
• Photo stops that actually give you time, including Ted’s home door area
• Guides who bring behind-the-scenes details and speak clearly
• A small group size (max 18) for a more personal experience

Richmond First, Ted Lasso Second, in the Best Way

This is not a museum tour where you watch and move on. You start in Richmond, then the show becomes a set of signposts that help you notice details you might otherwise miss. Richmond is scenic, with river views and classic streets, and the walk helps you connect the place to the stories.

What I like is that the tour feels like it has two goals that work together. One goal is the Ted Lasso filming locations, including moments tied to major seasons and climactic episodes. The other goal is Richmond itself, including what the town is like day-to-day and how it shows up on screen.

The best part for you is how quickly it turns into fun. You get time for selfies at key spots, but you also get a guide who talks through what you are looking at and why it mattered to the production. That makes the walking route feel lighter, even if you are not watching the show constantly in your head.

Getting There: Richmond Station as the Smart Starting Point

Meet point is Richmond Station, The Quadrant, Richmond, Greater London, TW9 2NA. It is a straightforward hub, and the tour starts in the afternoon, so you can sleep in or do a morning of London sights first.

If you are coming from central London, you can pair this with the train ride into Richmond. One review called out the train ride as its own sightseeing bonus, and that matches what Richmond does well: it feels like a small shift into a calmer pocket of the city.

You also end back at the same meeting point. That is a real quality-of-life detail, because you do not need to figure out a complicated return plan. Once you’re done mid-afternoon, you can keep going on your own schedule.

The Walking Pace: Comfortable, But Not a Sit-Down Tour

This is a walk with stops, not a hop-on hop-off bus. The physical fitness level is listed as moderate, and multiple reviews describe it as relaxing and not too strenuous. Still, it is a 2 hours 30 minutes route, so plan for steady walking between photo moments.

A nice touch mentioned in reviews is a bathroom break halfway through. That matters because the schedule is built around short pauses, and you do not want to spend your energy hunting for a restroom mid-tour.

If you are sensitive to hearing, consider where you stand. One review noted that the group felt larger than advertised and hearing was harder at times. The fix is simple: position yourself close to the guide and aim for a place with clear sightlines, especially when your guide starts telling the behind-the-scenes bits.

Richmond Green: Charity, Nathan’s Walk, and Football Moments

The tour begins with Richmond Green, where several Ted Lasso locations show up across all three seasons. This is your first taste of how the guide connects show storylines to real streets and paths.

You will cover exterior filming tied to the charity event, the walk Nathan takes to his parents house, and a football-related moment where Ted challenges a girl after a tough 4-1 loss to Crystal Palace. That is a lot of story in one early stop, so it helps to listen closely here. The guide’s explanation gives you a framework for what you are seeing, which makes the rest of the route click faster.

Why this stop works well for you: Richmond Green is open, so it is easier to take photos without feeling trapped in a tight corner. It also sets the tone for the day, because you can see how the town layout supports the scenes.

Possible drawback: Since it’s an early cluster of key scenes, you may feel the time pressure for selfies. If photos matter to you, arrive with your phone charged and ready, and try not to wait until the guide finishes talking to start snapping.

One Paved Court: The Ted Home Door Selfie Moment

Next comes One Paved Court, where you get the classic Ted Lasso London home exterior. This is the stop designed for your best selfie.

Even if you are not obsessive about filming details, this is an easy win: the location is recognizable in the way TV scenes can be, and your guide helps you understand what you are looking at.

What I like about this format: the tour gives you a timed photo moment (about 10 minutes) rather than a rushed drive-by. That means you can pose, take a second angle, and still hear the story.

What to consider: if you are traveling in a large group of friends or you like wide, slow photos, you might want to manage expectations. The stop is short by design, so you get the best result by deciding in advance what you want from it: one great photo, or several quick ones.

The Crown and Anchor: A Proper Pub Stop With Scene Connections

Then you head to Richmond-upon-Thames for a pub break at The Crown and Anchor. The show uses this pub as a recurring location, and multiple scenes have been filmed outside here.

The tour gives you about 30 minutes for this pause, and the moment is built for one thing: sitting down and letting the day reset. Reviews mention this as the place where you can grab a drink while your guide chats and shares additional production details.

A quick note that matters for your budget: food and drink are not included. So when you sit down at The Crown and Anchor, you’re there to buy what you want. The tour benefits are the time and the storytelling context around the pub, not the tab.

Why this stop adds real value: it breaks up the walking with a London tradition. It also turns the show into something you can feel in your day, not just watch in your head. The guide’s behind-the-scenes anecdotes help you connect why this pub fit the show.

If weather is rough: Richmond can be rainy in a blink. You will be walking between stops, but this pub break gives you a warm, sheltered reset.

Richmond Bridge: First Date Drama and Paparazzi Energy

Richmond Bridge is one of the most fun stops because it is clearly about relationships and drama. You stand where Roy Kent and Keeley Jones kiss on their first date, and where they are secretly photographed by the paparazzi.

There’s also a nearby restaurant mentioned as hosting a double date with Keeley and Roy, plus Rebecca and John. That matters because it expands the stop beyond one single frame. You get a mini tour of how different scenes cluster in the same area.

Why this works: bridges give you a natural viewpoint, and the show uses big emotion moments in places like this. On your side, you get the satisfaction of placing a scene location into a real geography you can picture later.

Photo and time reality check: this is another short stop (about 10 minutes). Bring your photo energy, not your photo perfectionism. If you want a lot of different shots, choose your angle fast and then listen for the guide’s extra details.

Richmond Viewpoints: Thames Scenery and a Glamorous Spot

Next up is Richmond, with a viewpoint that gives you stunning looks over Richmond and the River Thames. This is where the tour shifts from show drama into pure scenery.

There is also a glamorous location tied to a photoshoot scene featuring Keeley. So you get the best of both worlds here, a view that feels great in person and a show moment that makes the place feel important.

This stop is about 20 minutes. That extra time helps, because good viewpoints take time. You need a minute to orient yourself, then time to watch the river and take photos that actually show the setting.

What you should do here: slow down. Put your phone down for a minute and look. Richmond’s river bend and surrounding streets are part of why the show location style works in the first place.

Guides Make or Break It, and This One Usually Delivers

In past departures, guides like Emmy, Serena, Vic, and Jenny are highlighted, and the praise is consistent in a few ways. First, guides are described as engaging and fun, with an interactive tone that makes the group feel included. Second, guides are described as clear, speaking loud and easy to hear.

One review specifically credited a guide for being professional and easy to hear, and another described a guide who engaged the whole group. Another mentioned behind-the-scenes stories, including cast and crew insights that you would not find on your own.

You also get more than just show facts. Some reviews mention that the guides connect the filming locations to Richmond’s town culture and history, plus practical details that help you understand why the streets look the way they do.

A small caution from one review: the tour was advertised as small group, yet one person felt it was larger than expected, which reduced how well they could hear. That is not something you can control, but you can manage your experience by positioning yourself close to the guide and keeping your expectations flexible if you are in the middle of the group.

Value and Price: What $48.61 Buys You in Real Terms

At $48.61 per person for roughly 2 hours 30 minutes, this tour sits in a value sweet spot for London. Why? Because you are paying for three things that are hard to replicate on your own without work.

1) A guided route that ties multiple scenes to real, specific locations. Finding and understanding all those spots can be time-consuming.

2) Time-saving stops built around photos. You are not wandering aimlessly, and you are not pushed through at bus speed.

3) A local storytelling layer that brings in behind-the-scenes details about the making of the show, plus cast and crew context.

Food and drink are not included, so you should budget for the pub pause if you want a drink. But you are not buying a meal as part of the tour price. You are buying access to the route plus the guide.

Also consider the timing. Afternoon tours often let you combine this with other London sightseeing without losing a whole day.

Who This Tour Is Best For (and Who It Might Not Be)

This tour is ideal for Ted Lasso fans because it covers locations from all three seasons, including multiple key episodes and emotional moments. If you love the characters, you will appreciate the way the route assigns scenes to real streets and landmarks.

That said, you do not have to be a superfan to enjoy it. Richmond itself is charming and a great place for a short day out. One review even said it worked as a wonderful tour of Richmond even without being a big Ted Lasso fan.

Where it might not fit as well: if you dislike walking, or if you want a full-day itinerary with lots of indoor stops and museums. This is a walking tour with limited time at each photo point, and it is designed to keep moving.

Quick Tips to Get the Most From Your Afternoon

• Wear comfortable shoes. You will be on foot between stops.
• Charge your phone before you go, and consider a power bank if you rely on photo time.
• Bring a light rain layer. One departure was in rain and still seemed to work out.
• If you care about hearing every story, stand near the guide, especially during photo transitions.
• If you want extra fun, keep your eyes open. One review mentioned the group even got a chance to meet Nick Mohammed (who plays Nate). It is not guaranteed, but it is a reminder that filming brings people into the same town streets.

Should You Book the Ted Lasso Tour of Richmond?

I’d book it if you want a short, human-scale London experience where Ted Lasso becomes a reason to see Richmond up close. The combination of a small group format, clear guide storytelling, and multiple show-connected stops across the seasons makes it a strong value for the time.

I would hesitate if you need a very quiet tour with lots of breathing room, or if you are not comfortable with a moderate walking route and short timed stops. Also, plan on buying your own drink at The Crown and Anchor since food and drink are not included.

If you fit the sweet spot, you’ll end the afternoon back at Richmond Station with two wins: better memories of the show, and a real sense of what Richmond feels like beyond the tourist map.
