Step inside the world of Ted Lasso on this full-day guided coach tour through the real London locations that brought AFC Richmond to life.
Join Park The Bus Football Tours for a full-day guided coach experience through the real London locations that brought AFC Richmond to life. Go inside Hayes & Yeading United, the actual training ground where the Greyhounds found their belief, and stand pitchside where Ted, Beard, and Roy Kent did their work.
See Nelson Road, the South London stadium that hosted every matchday roar. Finish in Richmond itself, with time to find Ted's front door on Paved Court, have a pint at the real Crown & Anchor, and sit on the bench where Ted and Beard figured it all out.
Your first stop is Selhurst Park, home of Crystal Palace FC and one of the most recognizable grounds in South London. In the Ted Lasso universe, this is Nelson Road, the home stadium of AFC Richmond itself. Standing outside it, recognize the backdrop to some of the show's biggest moments.
Your guide will walk you through the stadium's exterior, sharing how Selhurst Park was transformed into Nelson Road on screen and what makes it such an iconic English football ground. Learn about Crystal Palace's real-life history, their passionate fanbase, and the role South London has played in shaping London football culture.
After the exterior visit, browse the Crystal Palace club shop and pick up a souvenir before heading back to the coach. Then, head to Hayes & Yeading United FC's ground, where AFC Richmond came to life. Go inside, around the pitch, and into the spaces where Jason Sudeikis, Brett Goldstein, and the cast spent their days between takes at a real working non-league club that had no idea it was about to become famous.
Your guide will share the stories of how a seventh-tier English club became the spiritual home of AFC Richmond, and what grassroots football really feels like. Stand pitchside, take your pictures at the Home End and the players' entrance, and find your spot in the car park.
After the morning's football adventure, the coach will drop you in Richmond for two hours of free time in one of London's most charming neighborhoods. Richmond is Ted Lasso's home. This is where the show's writers placed AFC Richmond. Walking through its streets, it's easy to see why. The village atmosphere, the Green, the independent shops, pubs, and the river nearby.
Your guide will point out the key filming locations around Richmond Green as you arrive and suggest how to make the most of your free time. From there, the afternoon is yours.
