I traveled to the UK to see friends and family, but I travelled specifically to Richmond for my Ted Lasso adventure! I saw that Jaqueline and Alan were just a few blocks away from where my favorite show is filmed and figured this would be a perfect location to explore.
The location is a two-three minute walk to the Tube/Train Station and a few blocks away from the Richmond Green (where outdoor filming for the show takes place). Shops and restaurants are just around the corner and the room, while compact, has a separate bath and kitchenette area. The hosts have provided a screen wall at the end of the hall to provide even more privacy. The amenities were very nice, Jacqueline and Allan were just lovely to interact with and I had a fantastic time. Richmond is a beautiful area to explore and I found the people in the area quite friendly. A local couple at nearby pub, even invited me to join them for drinks and chat!
The Ted Lasso experience was incredible. While most in the UK seem unfamiliar with the popular subscription Apple+ show, I ran into quite a few other US tourists with the same idea that I had. Within an hour of checking in, I was in a local pub, The Prince's Head (aka The Crown and Anchor) chatting with the bartender about the Ted Lasso tourism in the area. He then directed me to go out into the park across the street while waiting for my order and low and behold, I ended up chatting with Jason Sudeikis and friends for a few moments! A few days later I was able to see a bit of outdoor filming for the upcoming Season 3.
The Hayes and Yeading SkyEx stadium where practices are filmed is about 5 miles away and the Selhurst Park (Nelson Road) stadium where the matches are filmed is about 10 miles away. I don't know if there will be a season 4 or not, but as a massive Ted Lasso fan, this was the perfect base of operations for me.
