Plan notes

Useful context before you go

This is a source-faithful one-day Richmond itinerary built around historic landmarks, Ted Lasso filming locations, boutique-lined streets, and a golden-hour Thames walk. Richmond Station is the practical arrival point, with rail connections from Waterloo, Vauxhall, and Clapham Junction, plus access via the District line and Overground. Wear comfortable walking shoes; the route is walkable but includes riverside paths that can be harder to navigate at high tide. Check tide conditions before visiting the White Cross, where wellies may be useful during flooding. Bring a picnic or plan time for Richmond Green, and save the riverside and Richmond Bridge for sunset.

What is in this plan

Day 1 Richmond Town, Ted Lasso Locations and the Thames

Arrive through Richmond Station and explore the town on foot from the historic centre toward Richmond Green, then follow the route through the main Ted Lasso locations before finishing beside the Thames. The most atmospheric sequence is to reach Richmond Bridge and the riverside terraces around golden hour. The tide affects access around Water Lane and the White Cross, so check conditions before heading down to the river.

  1. Richmond StationRichmond Station, Richmond, London, UK

    Use Richmond Station as the arrival and departure point. Admire the refurbished Art Deco building, including its period décor and artwork. Rail connections include Waterloo, Vauxhall, and Clapham Junction, while the station is also served by the District line and Overground.

  2. Waterloo PlaceWaterloo Place, Richmond, London, UK

    Pause at Waterloo Place while entering the town centre. It provides an early sense of Richmond's historic, affluent streetscape before continuing toward the church and shopping streets.

  3. St Mary Magdalene ChurchSt Mary Magdalene Church, Church Terrace, Richmond, London, UK

    Visit this historic church site, where worship has taken place since 1220. Look for the 16th-century tower and the later visible structure dating from the 18th to early 20th centuries.

  4. Cropley MonumentCropley Monument, Church Terrace, Richmond, London, UK

    Look for the Cropley monument near the church. It belongs to the historic architectural sequence that includes Richmond's Tudor associations and the story of Henry VII renaming the town after his favoured Yorkshire estate.

  5. Richmond War MemorialRichmond War Memorial, The Green, Richmond, London, UK

    Stop at Richmond's war memorial before leaving the church area. It is a compact historical landmark and part of the town's central heritage walk.

  6. Richmond GreenRichmond Green, Richmond, London, UK

    Spend time on this 12-acre green, historically associated with royal jousting tournaments and now popular for picnics and sunbathing. It is also one of the key Ted Lasso filming settings, including scenes involving Ted and Roy Kent's girls' football team.

  7. Gothic HouseGothic House, The Green, Richmond, London, UK

    Photograph the Gothic-fronted 18th-century house beside Richmond Green. Its romantic castle-like addition was designed to create a deliberately dramatic appearance.

  8. Richmond TheatreRichmond Theatre, The Green, Richmond, London, UK

    See the exterior of this 1899 theatre, designed by Frank Matcham, one of Britain's best-known theatre architects. It adds a strong performing-arts stop to the Richmond Green loop.

  9. Paved CourtPaved Court, Richmond, London, UK

    Walk through Paved Court to find 11a, recognised as Ted Lasso's home. The court also contains the official Ted Lasso Store, making this the most concentrated stop for fans of the series.

  10. The Prince's HeadThe Prince's Head, The Green, Richmond, London, UK

    Visit the real pub used as the fictional Crown & Anchor. Its position near Richmond Green makes it a natural place to pause between the filming locations and the river route.

  11. King Street and George StreetKing Street and George Street, Richmond, London, UK

    Follow King Street through the central shopping area. The large corner store at King Street and George Street is associated with the former Dickins and Jones and House of Fraser department-store history.

  12. Water LaneWater Lane, Richmond, London, UK

    Take Water Lane toward the river. Navigation is easier at low tide; the riverside access can become muddy or awkward at high tide, so check conditions before setting out.

  13. The White CrossThe White Cross, Riverside, Richmond, London, UK

    Stop at this famously flood-prone riverside pub. During wetter or higher-tide conditions, access can require wellies, so treat it as a tide-dependent stop rather than assuming the riverside entrance will be comfortable.

  14. Richmond BridgeRichmond Bridge, Richmond, London, UK

    Finish beside the Thames at Richmond Bridge, the oldest surviving bridge crossing the river in London, built between 1774 and 1777. The bridge, riverside terraces, towpaths, buskers, and boating community provide the strongest sunset setting of the day.

  15. Bridge House GardensBridge House Gardens, Richmond, London, UK

    Walk through Bridge House Gardens for another riverside viewpoint. The gardens sit close to Richmond Bridge and work well as a quieter alternative to the busier bridge approach.

  16. Heron SquareHeron Square, Richmond, London, UK

    Pause in Heron Square as the route returns through Richmond's riverside neighbourhood. It is a compact architectural stop near the Thames and Bridge House Gardens.

  17. Odeon RichmondOdeon Richmond, Hill Street, Richmond, London, UK

    End the town-centre loop at this 1930 Art Deco cinema on Hill Street. Its exterior provides a final design-focused stop before returning to Richmond Station.
