The Ted Lasso Way: A Richmond Walking Tour
About the Tour
Richmond is the leafy London suburb that became AFC Richmond’s home in Ted Lasso, the Emmy-winning series about an optimistic American coach managing an English football team – despite knowing nothing about soccer.
On this walking tour, you’ll visit the filming locations behind the show’s most memorable moments and find out how this historic town’s architecture, riverside views, and village charm made it the perfect backdrop for Ted’s journey of kindness and belief.
The tour starts at Richmond Train Station, and on the tour you will be walking in the footsteps of rock stars and royalty. You’ll walk around Richmond Green, the 700-year-old gathering space featured in countless scenes. Passing the Victorian theatre and the elegant Georgian houses that doubled as Rebecca’s home—along with the terrace used for Nate’s parents’ house—you’ll see how the town’s charming streets became part of the show’s identity.
You’ll follow Dr Sharon's riverside bike route to work along the Thames Path, climb Richmond Hill to the protected viewing point where Keeley had her lion photo shoot, and find Ted’s flat with its quirky 9 1⁄2 Paved Court address. Along the way, you’ll hear stories about the show’s recurring themes like the Wizard of Oz parallels, ‘rom-communism’ references, and the power of belief that Ted brings to Richmond. The tour ends at The Prince’s Head pub, which became the beloved Crown & Anchor, where Ted’s friendships flourished.
On this 90-minute tour, you’ll have a chance to:
- Stand where Roy, Keeley, and Phoebe knocked on doors searching for a dentist on Christmas Day
- See Amsterdam Square, which doubled as Amsterdam and the sewer entrance in series three
- Walk the Thames Path where Dr. Sharon cycled before her crash and Roy had his first date with Keeley
- Visit Brewers Lane and spot So Bar Richmond, which stood in for the exclusive Bones and Honey club
- Discover the cobbled alley where Ted and Rebecca had their vulnerable heart-to-heart outside the gala
- Climb to Richmond Hill’s famous viewpoint, painted by JMW Turner and protected by an Act of Parliament
- Stop at the empanada bakery where Ted and Coach Beard grab their morning coffee
- Sit on the iconic bench with red phone boxes where Ted and Beard share their deepest conversations
Whether you’re a lifelong season ticket holder, a devoted Diamond Dog, or simply Lasso-curious, this tour is for anyone who believes in hope, heart, and a good story.

Timeless Walking Tours
I’m a walking tour guide brought up and educated in Windsor, where a lifetime of local knowledge underpins everything, I do. I guide across the historic towns of Windsor and Eton, blending lived experience with rigorous research to help you understand not just what you’re seeing, but why it matters.
My academic background is in Economic History from the University of Liverpool, where my dissertation examined the growth of tourism in Windsor. That training shaped how I interpret places—connecting royal power, local enterprise, and global visitors across 1,000 years of history.
Curiosity drives my work. I love exploring new places and learning from the people who live there—their stories, customs, and everyday insights. Travel has been a constant teacher, especially in Southeast Asia, where I lived and worked in Malaysia for three years. Talking with locals always reveals layers you won’t find in guidebooks.
Alongside research, I spent 17 years running an arts events business, so experience design is second nature to me. Every tour is crafted to give listeners the best possible experience: authoritative history, priceless local knowledge, unexpected details, and moments that hopefully make you smile.
I write tours about the places and themes I’m genuinely passionate about. That includes royalty and iconic locations in Windsor and Eton; the remarkable memorial landscape of Runnymede, with features ranging from the Bronze Age to contemporary art installations; and the RAF Memorial Englefield Green, a place of calm and reflection overlooking Runnymede, honouring the airmen and women lost in the Second World War.
My routes are in locations that follow the River Thames, naturally leading to Richmond—where one tour reflects another passion of mine: Ted Lasso ! The Emmy-winning, heart-warming story of an American football coach discovering English football in the historic town of Richmond.
I see myself as an explorer and a storyteller—someone who loves discovery and sharing it. With deep roots, proven expertise, and a commitment to accuracy and delight, I aim to make every VoiceMap journey memorable.

Tips
Places to stop along the way
You will pass a number of very good bars, coffee shops and restaurants on this walk. The final stop is outside The Prince's Head Pub - aka The Crown and Anchor - it serves excellent pub food and drink. It is probably worth booking if you're visiting on a busy weekend. You can even book the Ted and Coach Beard table.
Best time of day
The best time would be dawn to dusk.
Avoid very rainy weather when some of the Thames Path can flood.
Precautions
Some of the walk is along the riverside so please check the Thames tide timetables.
Ted says you wouldn't bring an umbrella to a rainstorm but it's always advisable in the UK to bring an umbrella for unexpected showers.
There is one hill to follow but there are benches along the way, so you can stop if you need to.
