Private Ted Lasso Filming Locations Tour

Richmond is where Ted Lasso feels most at home, and this private tour takes you straight into that world. From the riverside walk to Ted’s apartment location and the pub used as his local, you get to see the real streets behind the show instead of simply checking names off a map.

I like the one-guide, one-group format, since you can stop for photos, ask about a favorite episode, or adjust the pace without waiting for a large crowd. I also like the way Richard combines filming details with stories about Richmond and London, giving you a reason to enjoy the town even when a particular doorway means little to you.

The main consideration is price: at $213.59 per person, this is a serious half-day expense. The value improves for a small private group that wants personal attention, but the cost may feel high if you only want a quick look at one or two locations.

Key points before you book

• Meet near Victoria Station: Start at The Shakespeare & Platform 2299 on Buckingham Palace Road, then travel together by London Underground.
• See the show’s central Richmond locations: Walk beside the Thames, visit Richmond Green, view Ted’s apartment location, and stop at The Prince’s Head.
• Private attention from Richard: The guide can answer questions, show matching scene photos, and respond to your group’s interests.
• Pub time is possible: The Prince’s Head may offer a drink or lunch stop, but food and drinks cost extra and depend on table availability.
• Allow three to four hours: The tour includes Tube travel, a steady walk, photo stops, and the return trip.
• Bring a contactless card: You need a contactless debit or credit card to tap in and out of the Underground.

Why Richmond makes a better setting than a quick studio stop

The best feature of this experience is that it takes you to a real London neighborhood rather than a collection of isolated film backdrops. Richmond sits in southwest London beside the Thames, and the setting supplies much of Ted Lasso’s warm, small-town feeling.

You are not only looking at a pub sign or taking a picture outside an apartment building. You are walking through the streets, parks, and riverside paths that give the series its everyday character. Richmond Green has open space, local foot traffic, and room to pause. The riverside offers a different mood, with a long path that appeared in many scenes.

I especially like this approach for fans who want to understand how the show uses place. The locations are close enough to connect on foot, but each one has a different role. The river gives you the wide outdoor backdrop. Richmond Green feels local and relaxed. The pub gives the story its social center. Ted’s apartment location adds the small, residential detail that makes the show feel lived in.

This also works well for anyone who enjoys London beyond the main central sights. You get a half-day away from the usual royal and museum circuit, with local stories added by Richard. Several tour details point to his habit of giving a short lesson on Richmond’s past, including Tudor connections and wider London history.

Starting at Victoria Station and riding the Tube

The meeting point is The Shakespeare & Platform 2299 at 30 Buckingham Palace Road, close to Victoria Station. Richard meets you there before escorting the group by Underground toward Richmond.

That shared Tube ride matters more than it might sound. You do not have to work out the route alone, and Richard can help explain how to tap in and out. You must bring a contactless debit or credit card for the Underground, since that cost is not included in the tour.

The trip from Victoria also helps the outing feel like a proper London day rather than a staged attraction. You begin in a central transport hub, then head toward a quieter part of the city. At the end, you travel back with the group to Victoria Station, or to Westminster if that is preferred.

The tour information gives the opening Richmond visit about an hour. That time includes reaching the area and walking toward the main filming spots. Wear comfortable shoes and bring water, since this is a walking tour with outdoor stops rather than a vehicle-based circuit.

Richmond Riverside and the show’s outdoor scenes

The Richmond Riverside stop lasts about 20 minutes. Here, you follow the path used as a backdrop for several scenes and get time to match the real view with images from the series.

This is one of the more atmospheric parts of the outing. A good guide does more than point and say that a scene happened here. Richard uses photos from the show to help you see the camera angle and recognize what has changed between the filmed version and the real location.

The riverside is also a useful place for questions. You can discuss which characters appeared in a scene, how the location was used, or how the show’s fictional world fits the actual town. If you are traveling with mixed interests, this stop gives non-fans something to enjoy too. The setting is pleasant on its own, and the walk gives you a feel for Richmond.

Do not expect every filming point to look exactly as it did on screen. Television uses framing, editing, and set dressing. The fun is in spotting the connection, not in expecting a full-size replica of the show.

Richmond Green and the football moment

Richmond Green is an open park in the center of town. The tour includes the spot where Ted encourages a young girl during a kickabout, and it is only a short walk from Ted’s apartment location and the pub.

The visit here is brief, around 10 minutes, but the space gives useful context. Ted Lasso often places important moments in ordinary public spaces, and a local green makes that feel natural. You can take photos, compare the setting with the scene, and hear more about how Richmond functions as a real community.

This stop may appeal most to fans who remember specific moments rather than general landmarks. If you have recently watched the series, bring a mental list of scenes you want to ask about. The private format gives you a better chance to do that than a large group tour would.

The park is also a reminder that this is not an indoor attraction. Weather can affect the comfort of the stop, and the tour does not provide admission to a museum or covered venue. A rain jacket is sensible in London, even when the forecast looks kind.

The Prince’s Head, Ted’s local pub

The Prince’s Head is the main stop for fans who want the social heart of Ted Lasso. In the show, the pub has another name and serves as Ted’s local. It is also the setting for the famous darts match with Rupert.

The tour allows roughly 30 minutes here, subject to a table being available. You may have time for a drink or lunch, but you pay for anything you order. That flexibility is useful. You can make the pub a real break instead of a rushed photo stop, though you should not assume a guaranteed meal or reserved table.

I consider this the strongest stop for atmosphere. A pub carries more character than a street corner, and sitting down gives you time to talk with Richard about the show, the actors, and the surrounding town. It also breaks up the walking in a sensible way.

Still, keep expectations practical. This is an operating pub, not a dedicated Ted Lasso exhibit. Availability can change, and your visit may be limited to seeing the exterior if the indoor stop cannot be arranged. The tour description makes that condition clear.

One Paved Court and Ted’s apartment location

One Paved Court is a pretty lane and the location used for Ted’s apartment. The stop lasts about 15 minutes, giving you time to see the nearby streets and take pictures.

This part of Richmond shows why the town works so well on screen. The narrow lanes and attractive buildings create a close, neighborhood feel. Some nearby shops sell Ted Lasso-related items, which may interest fans looking for a small souvenir.

The apartment is a private residential location, so the right way to enjoy this stop is from the public street. You are there to identify the setting and recall scenes, not to enter a building or treat it like a film set open to the public.

I like this stop because it adds scale to Ted’s story. The pub and the football pitch are public meeting places. The apartment location is more personal and domestic. Together, the stops show how the series builds a fictional life from ordinary parts of Richmond.

Richard’s guiding style and the private format

The guide, Richard, is the tour’s main added value. He focuses on the show, the filming locations, the actors, and the past of Richmond. He also uses photos from specific episodes to help you connect the real view with what appeared on screen.

That visual aid matters. Film locations can be surprisingly hard to recognize when you are standing in them without the camera angle, costumes, and editing. Having a matching scene image makes the stop more rewarding and gives you a better photo idea.

The private setup lets Richard adapt to your group. You can spend longer on a favorite location, ask for Tube help, or talk about other London subjects. His communication before the tour is also useful for making the meeting point clear.

The experience appears suitable for most people, and service animals are allowed. It still involves outdoor walking and public transport, so anyone with mobility concerns should consider the route and contact the provider before booking. One helpful detail from the tour is that Richard has adjusted his pace and attention to a participant’s physical condition.

Is $213.59 per person good value?

The price is $213.59 per person, with group discounts available. That is far more than a self-guided walk, since Richmond’s public locations can be visited without an admission fee.

You are paying for the private guide, escorted Underground travel, scene photos, local knowledge, and the ability to set the pace for your own group. You are not paying for lunch, drinks, Tube fares, or entry to a paid attraction. The pub stop adds value if you want to sit down, but it also adds to your final cost.

For a couple or family who cares deeply about the show, the personal attention may justify the price. It can also make sense if you are nervous about navigating the Tube or want local advice beyond the filming sites. A larger private group may benefit more from the group discount.

If you are only mildly interested in Ted Lasso, I would choose a cheaper self-guided visit to Richmond. The town itself is pleasant, and you could see several locations independently. This tour earns its price through Richard’s detail, the episode photos, and the private conversation.

Who should book this Richmond tour?

You should book it if you have watched the show and enjoy remembering particular scenes. The experience is strongest for people who want both the locations and the stories behind them.

It also suits anyone who likes walking tours with a second subject built in. Even if your enthusiasm for the show varies within the group, the Richmond setting, riverside, pub, and local background give the outing wider appeal.

I would be less likely to recommend it to someone with only a passing interest in the series, a very tight London schedule, or a strong dislike of public transport and outdoor walking. The three to four-hour duration is a real half-day commitment.

Plan to stay in Richmond after the tour if your schedule allows. The outing ends back at the meeting point, but several people have found the town worth further wandering, with shops and places to eat beyond the planned stops.

Should you book the Private Ted Lasso Filming Locations Tour?

Book this tour if you want a personal Ted Lasso experience rather than a quick list of addresses. Richard’s scene photos, local background, Tube help, and flexible private format give the locations more meaning.

Skip it if you want the lowest-cost option or only need a photograph outside The Prince’s Head. For dedicated fans, though, this is a well-shaped half-day that connects the show to a real London neighborhood. Free cancellation is available up to 24 hours before the start time, giving you some useful flexibility when planning.
