Why “Ted Lasso” filming locations are the perfect travel inspiration
While AFC Richmond is a fictional football team, the feelings around its various heartwarming stories are very real, which is why fans will love visiting “Ted Lasso” filming locations in England. From personal to professional growth, the show inspires change, hope, and, most importantly, belief in yourself and others. On our London: The City Experience tour, lace up your Nikes (just like him) and walk the Ted Lasso walk to immerse yourself in the world of football, hope, and love. What could be more inspiring than that?
Lucky for fans around the world, Richmond isn’t just a TV backdrop; it’s a real, picturesque corner of London worth visiting. Unlike other popular places to visit in London, Richmond is a relaxed, scenic, and culturally rich corner of the city. It’s one of our favorite off-the-beaten-path places to visit because it has fewer crowds, verdant green spaces, and lots of cafes and shops to tuck into.
Where was “Ted Lasso” filmed?
Insider information says that most of season four has been set to film stateside in Ted’s beloved Kansas, but the first three seasons are primarily set and filmed in London. True fans will, of course, remember that in season three, the team travels to scenic Amsterdam for a match. (And some romance—looking at you, Rebecca!) The entire episode was shot there and follows individual storylines where friendships are forged and connections made. So if you consider yourself an honorary member of the Diamond Dogs, read on to discover “Ted Lasso” filming locations in both London and Amsterdam.
“Ted Lasso” filming locations in London and Amsterdam
While at the time of this publication, sources are saying that season four of the show that made us all believe will be filmed in Kansas, you can still expect some of these familiar filming locations from seasons one through three in London. After all, where would Ted be without Richmond Green, the Crown & Anchor pub (and its lovable regulars), and the River Thames? And don’t forget the memorable Amsterdam episode in season three! Good news: If you can’t choose between “Ted Lasso” filming locations in London or Amsterdam, you can visit them all during your free time on our London, Paris & Amsterdam tour.
Richmond Green
You’ll recognize this 12-acre public park from its appearance in many of the show’s episodes, but perhaps most notably in season one, where a young and talented female footballer dribbles circles around Ted (and everyone else). This park is also prominent as a “Ted Lasso” filming location in seasons two and three. It’s where Roy Kent coaches his niece’s soccer team, and where Ted enjoys the talents of various local musicians. Rumor has it, Richmond Park will also be a “Ted Lasso” season four filming location! Visit the park on any of our London tours during your free time and enjoy the greenery, the music, and maybe even some football.
Twickenham
The real-life neighbor to real-life Richmond, Twickenham is a lovely town worth visiting, whether you’re a fan of the show or not. The River Thames, another prominent “Ted Lasso” location—including the site of Roy and Keeley’s first date—runs through the quaint town, which is bursting with enthusiasm for sports, especially rugby. In fact, Twickenham is referred to as the official home of rugby in England. The town is also packed with delightful local shops, boutiques, and cafes along the famous Church Street. Get yourself a sports souvenir and a cuppa while you’re there during your free time on one of our London tours.
Ted’s home turf
Ted’s street is called Paved Court in London, and yes, it’s a “Ted Lasso” real location that you can visit. It’s a narrow, pedestrian-only alley dotted with shops, cafes, and even a chocolatier. Want to know the best part? While Richmond is a fictional soccer team, the shops on Paved Court have embraced the “Ted Lasso” movement as much as Americans have. If you choose to create a Customized Tour based on “Ted Lasso” filming locations, you can spend all day perusing this charming alley and maybe even snag yourself some Richmond shirts, hats, scarves—even teddy bears—to show off your Richmond pride.
The Prince’s Head Pub aka The Crown & Anchor
While you’re strolling down Paved Court, don’t miss out on seeing the “Ted Lasso” pub location where Ted and Coach Beard are regulars. The Crown & Anchor pub in the show is called The Prince’s Head in real life. What makes it even better than being a filming location for “Ted Lasso?” It’s a whopping 300 years old! Step into both British and Hollywood history when you pop in for a pint at this pub. Just don’t be disappointed when it looks different inside—interior scenes are filmed elsewhere.
Daquise
Visit one of the most precious “Ted Lasso” filming locations from season three: Sam’s restaurant. Ola’s may not exist for you to dine in, but a Polish restaurant called Daquise does. Find it in South Kensington during your free time on one of our London tours, or on your “Ted Lasso” filming locations Customized Tour.
Hotel Prins Hendrik
Stop at the hotel that Higgins and Will visit during the team’s curfew-free evening in Amsterdam. The two take a detour to pay homage to jazz icon Chet Baker. The visit to the musician’s plaque is a memorable “Ted Lasso” scene, and you can recreate it during your free time on one of our Amsterdam tours. It’s located at Hotel Prins Hendrik, and yes, the plaque in Chet’s honor is right out front, so no need to check in.
Amsterdam’s bridges
When the Richmond crew visits Amsterdam in season three for a match, the focus of the episode is less about the game and more about the city evoking new feelings and relationships—for Rebecca especially, when she topples off a bridge and ends up in the care of a charming (and handsome) local. Meanwhile, in an unexpected twist, Jamie teaches Roy something: how to ride a bike. The two have an epic night of brotherly bonding, solidifying their unlikely friendship. The bridge they jog over is called Skinny Bridge, and the street they joyride across on their bikes is called Rokin. Hoping to find love like Rebecca? The bridge she tumbles from is called Raamgracht—just be sure to watch for bikes!
Can you visit AFC Richmond stadiums?
Although AFC Richmond is a fictional team, you can visit the real locations that bring it to life during your free time on any of our London tours. Here’s where to go if you want to visit “Ted Lasso” stadium locations when you’re on tour.
SkyEx Community Stadium
AFC Richmond’s training sessions are filmed here, and you can visit when you’re on tour in London because it’s also where the real-life Hayes & Yeading United FC plays. Sit in the stadium and watch actual footballers play where Nate the Great cut his teeth as one of the best coaches in the league.
Selhurst Park
On home-game days, AFC Richmond faces off at the real-life Selhurst Park, and you can visit it on tour! While Richmond isn’t a real team, this is where the very real Crystal Palace FC plays. If you’re on one of our London tours, you can snag yourself some tickets and absorb the local football culture just like Jamie, Sam, and Roy’s biggest fans do.
Fun fact: Dog racing was once popular in Selhurst Park. That’s why AFC Richmond’s mascot is a greyhound, and why the stadium is sometimes called “the dog track” in the show. It’s a sort of inside joke for locals (and now, for you too!).
Plan your perfect “Ted Lasso” fan trip
Have a free day to create a “Ted Lasso” tour in London? Here’s how you can optimize your time in Ted’s stomping grounds and see as many of the Richmond filming locations as possible.
Take the Tube to Richmond
Richmond Station is your jumping-off point to exploring the neighborhood’s charm. You can walk to Richmond Green and enjoy live music as Ted and Coach Beard often do, or even kick a ball around if you’re feeling athletic.
Stroll down Paved Court
This very real “Ted Lasso” location in England is where Ted’s flat is. You can wander the narrow alley, grab a cuppa at a cafe, and people watch before you peruse the many local shops.
Stop off for a pint at The Prince’s Head
After your walk through Paved Court, be sure to pop into the pub that served as the backdrop for The Crown & Anchor. While Mae won’t be your sassy bartender, you can still sip a frosty pint and cheers to Richmond.
Snap a group pic at Ted’s bench
Ted and Coach Beard often shared heart-to-hearts on this wooden bench perched on the edge of Richmond Green. It’s become a fan-favorite photo-op, perfect for either a group or solo shot.
Catch a real football match
Get as close to the full AFC Richmond experience as possible when you get yourself tickets to see a real football game in London. Head to Selhurst Park, home of Crystal Palace FC, where all the match scenes in “Ted Lasso” were filmed. While it may not be Roy and Jamie sprinting up and down the field, you’ll get to feel the wild energy of being at a Premier League football game—and there’s nothing quite like it.
