Walking the Ted Lasso pub trail in Richmond

From the Crown & Anchor exterior on Richmond Green up to the view from Richmond Hill, and what else is worth a pint while you're there.

Richmond-upon-Thames was already a beer destination, with riverside pubs and a cluster of Cask Marque houses, but TW9 and TW10 sit on the Greater London boundary with Surrey and a lot of "London beer map" coverage skipped it. Then a fictional American football coach took over a fictional Premier League club here, and Richmond stopped being skippable.

The Crown & Anchor, AFC Richmond's local in Ted Lasso, has a real-life exterior, and it's The Prince's Head on the south-east corner of Richmond Green. Fuller's-tied, red phone boxes outside, fairy lights down the alley. The interior pub set was a full-size studio replica, so you'll never quite step into the show. But you can stand on the green and look at the door Ted walks through, which for a lot of people is the whole point of the trip.

Below is a four-stop walking trail: one direct Ted Lasso location, two other Richmond Green pubs to reset between sittings, and a Richmond Hill finisher with the kind of Thames-bend view the show keeps coming back to. After that, a shortlist of the wider Richmond beer scene worth knowing about while you're already in TW9.

Where was Ted Lasso filmed? The Crown & Anchor pub exterior is The Prince's Head at 28 The Green, Richmond TW9 1LX. Ted's flat doorway is in Paved Court, the cobbled alley directly off Richmond Green. The Roy & Keeley first-date scene is at Richmond Riverside in front of the Old Town Hall. Rebecca's house is 1 Pembroke Villas. Most other filming took place within a square mile of Richmond Green, and the full address list is in the Fan Extras section below. Season 4 ran on Apple TV from 5 August to 7 October 2026, ten episodes, with Ted coaching AFC Richmond's women's team.

The trail

STOP 01

The Prince's Head

28 The Green, TW9 1LX

The exterior of the Crown & Anchor. A Fuller's pub, red phone boxes outside. Stand on the green opposite, take the photo, then go in for a London Pride and the kind of unfussy English pub interior the show was specifically trying to evoke. Not a craft destination; that is not the point of this stop. This is the pilgrimage stop. The bench just outside the door is where Ted and Beard share a beer after Michelle leaves in S1E5; the fountain across the road is where Cam Cole busks in S1E2. Walk a few steps round to Paved Court, the cobbled alley off The Green, fairy lights overhead, independent shops on both sides. The doorway to Ted's flat is here. The show paints it 9½; fan guides put the real number at 11 or 11A, and the interior was a studio set, but the door is the door. La Reale Camiceria on the same alley sells Ted-related souvenirs if that's your thing.

STOP 02

The Cricketers

24 The Green, TW9 1LX

Forty seconds' walk along the same edge of the green. Greene King-tied, but a good one: proper pub atmosphere on a busy Richmond afternoon, looking out across the cricket ground that's still in active use. Sit outside in summer for the green-side experience the Ted Lasso production crew were photographing every shot.

STOP 03

The White Cross

Riverside, TW9 1TH

Down to the Thames. The White Cross is a Young's pub on the riverside path, famous for flooding at high tide (the front bar's set up with a step you cross at high water). The towpath running past the pub doubles as Dr Sharon's bike-ride route in S2E8. Cholmondeley Walk and the riverbank either side of the pub are both in shot. From the pub door, walk south along the towpath: 200 yards down at Richmond Riverside (the broad paved area in front of the Old Town Hall) is where Roy and Keeley's first date was filmed in S1E8, including the stairs where the paparazzi stood and Roy took the film out of the photographer's camera. Bonus: another 400 yards south is Gaucho, where the John Wingsnight double date was shot.

STOP 04

The Roebuck

130 Richmond Hill, TW10 6RN

Walk up Richmond Hill. The Roebuck, which puts itself on the hill since 1717 and calls itself Richmond's oldest, is at the top, with the cross-the-road terrace facing the protected Thames bend that William Turner painted, that Wordsworth wrote about, and that Ted Lasso uses as a reflection-shot every time the writers want their American to have a quiet moment about home. The view is doing real editorial work in the show. It does it for you too.

Fan extras: specific filming locations within the same square mile

If you've come for the show specifically rather than the pints, the same loop hits these, most of them identified by Charles North's walking guide on r/TedLasso and confirmed by other fan tours. We've tested them on Google Maps not feet, so addresses are approximate where noted:

Rebecca's House · 1 Pembroke Villas, the corner house with the "Pembroke House" plate above the door. The exterior in every shot of Rebecca's home is here, and possibly some of the interior front-door work too. Round the bend from Portland Terrace, so easy to combine with Nate's parents'.
Nate's Parents' House · roughly 15 Portland Terrace. The row backs onto The Green; the dog-walk-and-paparazzi-debrief scene between Higgins and Rebecca in S1E2 plays out along the trees right next to it.
Old Town Hall, Whittaker Avenue · used for the post-gala scene in S1E4 where Ted and Rebecca step out and decide against the bike taxi. The stairway down to the river is the same one the photographer climbs in S1E8.
Richmond Theatre · Little Green TW9 1QJ. Stands in for the gala venue's exterior in S1E4.
Danieli on The Green · the chocolate and gelato shop where The Green meets Brewers Lane. Ted and Beard pass it in the famous Bird-by-Bird walking scene (S1E2), and the same shopfront is where Ted plays the brief dribbling game with Shannon. Plausible enough source for Rebecca's truffles that we'd put a small bet on it.
Gents of Richmond · just up Golden Court past The Prince's Head. The barber's where Jamie gets cornered for an autograph in S1E10.
4 and 1 Old Palace Terrace · two of the front doors Roy, Keeley and Phoebe knock on during the dentist hunt in S2E4, including the one with the unfortunately memorable family bathroom situation.
Old Palace Lane car park (Thames end) · the Pavlov / classical-conditioning chat between Jamie and Keeley in S1E6. The Richmond Rail Bridge framed beyond it shows up again on Dr Sharon's bike ride (S2E8).
Church Court / Church Walk · off George Street, near the Tesco Express. The post-card walk-away in the "Love, Actually" Christmas-card sequence happens here; Bernard's actual front door is somewhere around 8–10 Church Walk, framed against St Mary Magdalene Church behind.

Bonus across the river: Church Street, Twickenham is where the S2E3 scene with Rebecca, Nora, Roy and Phoebe is filmed. Period dramas film there constantly. About a 25-minute walk over Richmond Bridge or one stop on the train from Richmond.

If you've made it this far, here's what else is in Richmond

Richmond has a small but real craft-beer scene that isn't on the Ted Lasso trail but is two minutes' walk off it. Worth lining up before or after the pilgrimage:

Tap Tavern. Princes St, TW9 1ED. 20 rotating keg/cask lines; Kernel, Siren, Verdant, Cloudwater, Buxton in regular rotation. The proper craft destination in Richmond.
Richmond Vault Beer Cellar. 5 Hill St, TW9 1SX. Basement Georgian space, 100+ craft bottles. On the route between The Prince's Head and the river.
The Mitre. 20 St Mary's Grove, TW9 1UY. 14 handpumps, Cask Marque accredited.
The Botanist on the Green. 3-5 Kew Green, TW9 3AA. Own micro-brewery on-site if you take the Kew detour.
The Old Ship. 3 King St, TW9 1ND. Young's house, 1735.
Tap on the Line. Kew Gardens Station, TW9 3PZ. Station-platform pub, 6 cask + 5 craft.

Practical notes

Start at Richmond station (District line and South Western Railway). It is two minutes from Richmond Green. The trail above is roughly 1.5 miles end-to-end, mostly flat except the Richmond Hill climb at the end (which is the bit that earns you the view). Allow three to four hours if you stop at every pub, longer if you take the Kew detour.

Inside PINtPOINT, every venue card on this page deeplinks to a live tap-list page, useful for working out whether your favourite small brewery is on at the Tap Tavern before you walk up the hill. Beer Alerts can ping you the moment a watched beer goes on a tap line at any Richmond venue.

Frequently asked questions

Where is the Crown and Anchor pub from Ted Lasso?

The exterior is The Prince's Head, a Fuller's pub at 28 The Green, Richmond TW9 1LX, on the south-east corner of Richmond Green. Its history is usually traced to about 1705, though Wikipedia dates the building itself to around 1740 and the present name to 1778. The interior in the show is a studio set, but the doorway, the bench outside and the red phone boxes are all the real building.

Can you go inside the Crown and Anchor?

You can go inside The Prince's Head, the real pub, and order a pint of London Pride. The interior layout differs from the show set, but the unfussy English-pub mood the show was trying to evoke is the same. Worth booking ahead on weekends.

Where was Ted's flat filmed in Ted Lasso?

In Paved Court, the cobbled alley directly off Richmond Green, next door to The Prince's Head. The show numbers the door 9½, painted on for filming; fan guides give the real number as 11 or 11A. The interior was a studio set, but the front door is the real one and is the canonical Ted's-flat photo stop on every fan walking tour.

Where else was Ted Lasso filmed in Richmond?

Within a square mile of Richmond Green: Rebecca's house at 1 Pembroke Villas, Nate's parents' home around 15 Portland Terrace, the Old Town Hall on Whittaker Avenue (post-gala scene in S1E4), Richmond Theatre (gala exterior, S1E4), Danieli on The Green (the Bird-by-Bird walking scene, S1E2), Gents of Richmond on Golden Court (Jamie's autograph scene, S1E10), the Old Palace Lane car park (Jamie and Keeley's Pavlov chat, S1E6), and Richmond Riverside in front of the Old Town Hall (Roy and Keeley's first date, S1E8).

How long is the Ted Lasso pub trail in Richmond?

The four-pub spine is 1.5 miles end-to-end, three to four hours if you stop properly at each pub. Adding the Fan Extras filming-locations loop adds about another mile but stays inside the same square mile of Richmond Green. Doable in an afternoon either way.

When did Ted Lasso Season 4 come out?

It premiered on Apple TV on Wednesday 5 August 2026 and ran weekly to the finale on 7 October, ten episodes in all, with Ted back in Richmond coaching AFC Richmond's women's team. The locations on this page are the ones the show has used since the first series; the walk works whether or not you are caught up.

How do I get to Richmond for the Ted Lasso filming locations tour?

Train to Richmond Station: District line from central London, or South Western Railway from Waterloo (16 mins). Two minutes' walk to Richmond Green from there. Five minutes to The Prince's Head straight down Old Station Passage and Little Green.
