Ted Lasso Tour of Richmond
Book on Viator →Operated by Brit Movie Tours · Bookable on Viator
A football show tour, but in real Richmond. This 2.5-hour walk strings together Ted Lasso filming locations across all three seasons, with stops in places you can actually wander on foot along the Thames.
What I like most is the small-group feel (it caps at 18), which keeps the pace relaxed and the questions coming. I also really value the photo-friendly timing, from Ted’s front door selfie stop to the Richmond Bridge views where key scenes play out.
One possible drawback: while the tour is advertised as small, there’s a chance your group may feel larger than expected, so be ready to position yourself closer to the guide if you want to catch every detail.

Richmond, the Thames, and the Ted Lasso storyline in walking form
This tour works because Richmond is already a character in its own right. You’re walking through a part of London that sits on the river—pretty lanes, river views, and classic British streets that make the TV world feel grounded.
The smartest part is that it doesn’t feel like you’re standing in a studio set. Instead, you move through real neighborhoods tied to the show, so every stop lands with context: where the characters go, what the scene needs, and why this part of London keeps popping up on screen.
And yes—if you’re a Ted Lasso fan, it’s tailor-made. You’ll get stops linked to plot points from multiple seasons, plus guide stories about how the filming days likely played out on location.

Meeting at Richmond Station: how the 2.5 hours actually fit together

You meet at Richmond Station (The Quadrant, Richmond, TW9 2NA). Starting from a major rail hub is practical: you can get there easily, and after the tour you’re right where you can keep sightseeing on your own.
The tour runs about 2 hours 30 minutes, in the afternoon. That timing is handy because it gives you daylight for photos around the river and bridge, and it still leaves you time afterward to explore further without feeling rushed.
This is a walking tour with a moderate physical level. The good news: the stops are short and frequent, so you’re not stuck dragging yourself through long stretches without a break. You’ll still want comfortable shoes, especially if weather turns slushy or rainy—Richmond can look dramatic even when it’s wet.
Your guide matters: small group energy and show-level storytelling

The tour’s strongest ingredient is the guide. In the groups that have gone out, guides like Emmy, Serena, Jenny, and Vic have been highlighted for clear communication and fun, interactive energy. One guide was praised as a Richmond resident and actress, which makes sense—this isn’t just trivia, it’s performance plus place.
You should expect the guide to connect the dots between what you see outside and what you remember from episodes. That’s what turns a photo stop into a mini scene reenactment: you look at a doorway or a bridge spot, and suddenly the moment from the show clicks into place.
In a balanced way, I’ll flag this: one set of feedback said the group felt larger than advertised, making it harder to hear. If hearing is important to you, aim to stand where the guide can clearly address the group.
Stop 1: Richmond Green—charity-event exteriors and Nate’s walk

The tour begins with Richmond Green. This first cluster is where the show references start stacking up across seasons. You’ll hit several exterior locations tied to big story beats, including the walk Nathan takes toward his parents’ place and another spot tied to Ted challenging a girl to play football after a 4-1 Crystal Palace result.
You’ll also see the exterior linked to a charity event. That matters because charity scenes in Ted Lasso aren’t just background—they set tone. Seeing the location in daylight helps you notice details you’d otherwise miss when you’re watching on a screen.
Time here is brief—about 10 minutes—so the goal is quick orientation. Get your bearings early, take a few photos, and let the guide point out what’s most recognizable.
Tip: If you’re hoping to match specific frames from episodes, Richmond Green is a good place to warm up. Jot down what you want to find next, because the later stops move faster.
Stop 2: One Paved Court—Ted’s London home selfie moment

Next is One Paved Court, where you get a chance to take a selfie in front of the front door of Ted’s London home. This is the stop that many fans are most excited for because it’s clean and specific—there’s a clear subject, and the angle is straightforward for quick photos.
It’s also short—about 10 minutes—which is intentional. You’re not meant to loiter; you’re meant to get your shot, absorb the moment, and move on while the group stays together.
Even if you’re not a superfan, this is still worth it because it’s a fun contrast: a real residential street, treated like a filming location, where you can see how normal life and TV story overlap.
Practical note: Bring your phone charged and ready. This stop is designed for fast snapshots, not long picture sessions.
Stop 3: Richmond-upon-Thames—the Crown and Anchor break

Now you get your most “TV-real” pause: a 30-minute drink stop at the Crown and Anchor. This pub appears throughout the show, and the tour uses that familiarity in a smart way—while you’re there, the guide talks through how the characters’ thinking time and team moments translate on screen.
For you, that half hour is a gift. It breaks up the walking, gives you a chance to sit, and lets the group regroup so the next bridge walk doesn’t feel like a marathon.
Food and drink aren’t included, so you’ll need to buy your own drinks if you want that classic Ted Lasso pub moment. Still, the tour gives you the time to actually enjoy the stop rather than just point from the street and keep moving.
If you’re budgeting: this is where you’ll spend the most beyond the tour price. Decide in advance if you want a pint, a soft drink, or just water.
Stop 4: Richmond Bridge—Roy and Keeley’s first-date kiss spot

The next move is Richmond Bridge—and it’s a big one for fans. You’ll stand on the spot associated with the Roy Kent and Keeley Jones first-date kiss, plus the location where they’re secretly photographed by the paparazzi.
This is also one of those stops where the setting helps the episode feel more real. Bridges in London carry motion—wind off the river, changing light, and that mix of city-and-country energy. Even if you’re not chasing every exact frame, you still get something scenic and memorable.
You also get time to stop by the restaurant connected to a double-date with Keeley and Roy and Rebecca and John. That adds variety: it’s not only about the romantic beats, it’s also about seeing where the social storyline lives.
Time here is about 10 minutes, so keep it focused—quick photos, listen to the guide’s pointers, and don’t let one perfect shot stop you from hearing the next scene setup.
Photo strategy: Try one shot wide (bridge + river context) and one closer shot (framing with the character moment). That way you capture both the show and the actual place.
Stop 5: Richmond views and Keeley’s photoshoot location

The final stop is Richmond with views over Richmond and the River Thames. This is where you shift from “where is the scene” to “wow, this is why filming picked this place.”
You’ll visit the glamorous location linked to a Keeley photoshoot. You don’t need to be deep into fashion-story details to enjoy it, because the setting does the heavy lifting: the river view makes it instantly photogenic, and it feels like Richmond is showing off for the camera.
Time here is about 20 minutes, which gives you a little breathing room. Use it for slow photos, a quick look around, and a moment to just take in the neighborhood.
And since the tour ends back at the station in mid-afternoon, you can keep the momentum going—grab a snack, walk along the river, or jump onto the Underground or rail for another stop.
Is it worth $48.61? The value equation for Ted Lasso fans (and others)
The price is about $48.61 per person, and for a focused walking tour that’s usually positioned around show fans, that can be a fair deal—especially when you compare it to the cost of getting around London on your own plus paying for guided context.
You get an expert local guide and structured stops tied to multiple seasons. That’s the core value: the guide helps you recognize what you’d miss if you were just wandering Richmond with no map and no show context.
You also get time designed for photos: short stops where you can take pictures without feeling rushed, plus the pub break where you can sit down. Food and drink aren’t included, but that’s common for tours like this—and it keeps the base price from inflating.
One more value point: the tour ends at the start location, so you don’t lose half your day on complicated transfers. Richmond is scenic, but it’s also efficient to reach and easy to leave, which matters when you’re juggling a full London itinerary.
What to bring and how to get the most out of each stop
This tour is straightforward, but a few small choices make it smoother:
- Wear comfortable shoes. It’s a walk tour with moderate fitness expectations.
- Bring a charged phone for the selfie stops.
- Plan for weather. Afternoon sun helps, but Richmond can turn cool fast along the river.
- If you want to buy the pub drink, decide on your budget beforehand since food and drink aren’t included.
Also, if you’re traveling with another Ted Lasso fan, this is a good day to split who watches the guide and who scans the street details for matching scenes. The tour moves quickly enough that it helps to share the attention.
Who should book this tour?
I’d book this if you fall into any of these groups:
- You’re a Ted Lasso fan who wants real locations tied to scenes from multiple seasons.
- You want an afternoon that combines show storytelling with a genuinely pretty part of London.
- You like tours where the pace is relaxed enough for photos and questions, not a nonstop sprint.
Even if you’re not a die-hard fan, you may still enjoy it. Richmond itself is charming, and the guided explanations turn unfamiliar streets into something you can actually place in your memory.
Should you book the Ted Lasso Tour of Richmond?
If you want a guided way to see Richmond beyond the obvious tourist loops, and you’d enjoy connecting filming locations to the show’s emotional beats, this tour is an easy “yes.”
I’d only hesitate if you’re very sensitive to group size or you need guaranteed hearing from far back. In that case, go early in the group line, stay close to the guide, and treat it as a fun walking tour that’s designed for photos and storytelling—not a silent museum with perfect acoustics.
For most people, though, the mix of small group pacing, multiple show-season stops, and a real break at the Crown and Anchor makes this feel like good value for your afternoon.
