About this tour
When Charlie from our BugBitten team grabbed the app and set off around Richmond, we found a solid self-guided walk that threads together Ted Lasso's actual filming spots across this proper historic town. The tour's roughly 90 minutes to 2 hours depending on pace, and you're moving between Richmond Green's Georgian townhouses (Rebecca's home), the Thames Path cycle route, Richmond Hill's viewpoint, and the quirky address of Ted's flat. It's a town that genuinely feels like the show's backdrop—riverside charm, tree-lined streets, real architecture—and the walk lets you connect those spots on your own time with the app doing the heavy lifting.
Highlights
- Richmond Green's Georgian facades where Rebecca's house was filmed
- Thames Path riverside walk following Dr Sharon's cycling route
- Richmond Hill viewpoint where Keeley's lion shoot happened
- Ted's flat at 9½ Paved Court—address hunting in real streets
- App-guided pace lets you linger or skip sections guilt-free
- Wizard of Oz and 'rom-communism' detail callbacks during walk
- Town's actual architecture sells the show's visual identity convincingly
What to expect
The tour kicks off with directions to your starting point, then the GPS app takes over—you're not waiting for groups or guides, which is refreshing. Charlie found the pacing genuinely flexible; you can pause at Richmond Green to photograph the Georgian terraces, or push on if you've seen enough brick. The walk follows a logical loop that takes in the riverside Thames Path (pleasant, busy with joggers and dog walkers), then climbs to Richmond Hill's protected viewpoint—a proper panoramic spot, worth the legs. You'll spot Ted's flat address and wander streets that feel like the show was filmed yesterday.
What works is the self-guided format—no rushing, no small-talk with strangers if that's not your vibe. What's less obvious is that you're mostly looking at buildings from the outside and inferring the show connection from the app's notes. It's not a set tour with behind-the-scenes access; it's a well-researched treasure hunt through a town that happens to be beautiful anyway.

Good to know
If you're a Ted Lasso fan who wants to see the actual locations without paying for a guided group, this hits the mark. The app works offline, so no dodgy data roaming, and you've got lifetime access—revisit whenever. Richmond itself is genuinely worth exploring; the town's architecture, riverside walks, and cafés make it worthwhile even if you skip every Ted Lasso spot. Physical fitness isn't a blocker—the walk's flat-to-gently-rolling terrain and you set the speed.
You need your own smartphone and headphones; the app won't narrate through your watch or car speakers. Admission fees to any attractions aren't included (though most filming locations are outdoor street views, so cost is minimal). Richmond Hill's viewpoint is popular and can get rammed mid-afternoon, especially weekends. The walk doesn't include food or drink, so pack snacks or plan café stops. Public transport gets you there, but you're on foot for 90 minutes-plus, so comfy shoes are essential.
