Paved Court is the real pedestrian alley where Ted's apartment exterior was filmed, though the show fictionalizes the flat number as 9½. It is a walkable lane lined with independent shops, and it sits steps from Richmond Green and the pub. Access is free and public. Visiting on a weekday is the best way to avoid crowds, since the lane is narrow and has grown popular with fans of the show.
The Short Answer
Ted Lasso was filmed in and around Richmond in southwest London, with interiors shot at West London Film Studios near Hayes. Stadium scenes used Selhurst Park in Croydon and Wembley Stadium. Season 4, which began filming in July 2025, added extensive location work in Kansas City, Missouri, for scenes in Ted's American hometown.
AFC Richmond does not exist, but the town the show calls home very much does. Most exterior scenes were shot on the actual streets of Richmond in southwest London, a short Tube ride from central London, so fans can stand outside Ted's flat, drink in the pub that plays The Crown & Anchor, and walk Richmond Green where the bench conversations took place.
The stadium and training ground scenes pull from elsewhere. Selhurst Park in Croydon doubles as Nelson Road, SkyEx Community Stadium in Hayes stands in for the training ground, and Wembley hosted the season 2 FA Cup semi-final scenes. Season 4 widened the map considerably, taking the production to Kansas City starting in July 2025.

Location By Location
This historic pub on the edge of Richmond Green served as the exterior of The Crown & Anchor, the show's central gathering spot. Unlike most filming locations, this one welcomes visitors as customers: it is a working pub serving food and drinks. Fans can drink where Ted, Beard, and the Diamond Dogs schemed, at least on the outside. Access is free, and it pairs naturally with Paved Court and Richmond Green, both a minute away on foot.
Richmond Green is the open parkland used for outdoor scenes throughout the series, including walks and the bench conversations between Ted and Coach Beard, and later Dr. Sharon. It is a public park popular for recreation and events, wrapping around the corner near The Prince's Head and Paved Court. Nothing was built here; the benches and green are simply themselves. Combine it with the other two Richmond sites for an easy hour of exploring.
SkyEx Community Stadium in Hayes stood in for the AFC Richmond training ground exteriors. It is the home of Hayes & Yeading United, a non-league club, which makes it one of the more approachable football venues on this list. Match admission is £12, and the club allows viewing on non-match days as well. Its location near Hayes also puts it close to West London Film Studios, where the interiors were shot.
Selhurst Park, home of Crystal Palace FC in Croydon, doubled as Nelson Road Stadium for all seasons, including the season 4 women's team matches. This is where the match-day scenes, crowd shots, and stadium exteriors come from. Access is ticketed, through either stadium tours or Crystal Palace match tickets. It is the closest a visitor can get to standing inside AFC Richmond's home ground, and the only one used consistently across the entire series.
Country Club Plaza in Kansas City appeared in season 4 for scenes of Ted returning to his hometown. It is a historic shopping district with public access, so fans can wander freely through the area the production used. Some temporary changes were made for filming, meaning bits of dressing may not match what appears on screen. It is the anchor of the show's new American storyline and the main reason to build a Kansas City visit.
CPKC Stadium, home of the Kansas City Current, hosted season 4 football-related scenes. Access is ticketed, and visitors should check the event calendar for matches or potential tours, since availability depends on the schedule. As a purpose-built women's soccer venue, it fits the season 4 storyline involving the women's team. Pair it with Country Club Plaza for a compact Kansas City filming locations itinerary.
Wembley Stadium in London was used for the season 2 FA Cup semi-final scenes. Stadium tours are available, giving visitors access well beyond what a filming location visit usually offers. As England's national stadium, it carries a weight that reads on screen, and the semi-final episode made full use of it. It sits in northwest London, separate from the Richmond cluster, so plan it as its own outing rather than part of a walking route.
Where It Is Set Versus Where It Was Filmed
The show is set primarily in the fictional AFC Richmond in the London borough of Richmond. The production barely had to fake it: real Richmond streets, pubs, and parks appear on screen as themselves. What was added or substituted is the football infrastructure. Nelson Road Stadium does not exist, so Selhurst Park fills in, while the training ground exteriors come from SkyEx Community Stadium in Hayes. Interiors were built at West London Film Studios. Season 4 breaks the pattern, with scenes set in Ted's American hometown filmed for real in Kansas City, Missouri.
The Studio Side
West London Film Studios in Hayes handled most interior scenes, including the locker room and offices. The studio is not open to visitors. Its placement near Hayes is convenient for the production, since the training ground exteriors at SkyEx Community Stadium sit close by, allowing exterior and interior work on the same side of west London.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you visit Ted Lasso filming locations for free?
Yes. Paved Court, The Prince's Head, and Richmond Green are all free public spaces in the heart of Richmond. The stadium locations, Selhurst Park, SkyEx Community Stadium, CPKC Stadium, and Wembley, require tickets or tours.
Is The Crown & Anchor a real pub?
The interior is a studio set, but the exterior belongs to The Prince's Head, a real historic pub on the edge of Richmond Green. It is open to visitors and serves food and drinks.
Is AFC Richmond a real football club?
No. AFC Richmond is fictional, as is Nelson Road Stadium. Match and stadium scenes were filmed at Selhurst Park, home of Crystal Palace FC, with training ground exteriors at SkyEx Community Stadium in Hayes.
Where was season 4 filmed?
Season 4 filming began in July 2025 in Kansas City, Missouri, including Country Club Plaza and CPKC Stadium, before returning to London. Selhurst Park again stood in for Nelson Road, including the women's team matches.
Can you watch a match at the training ground stadium?
Yes. SkyEx Community Stadium is home to Hayes & Yeading United, and match admission is £12. The club also allows viewing on non-match days.
How far is Richmond from central London?
Richmond sits in southwest London and is a short Tube or train ride from the center. The main Ted Lasso sites, Paved Court, The Prince's Head, and Richmond Green, cluster together and are walkable within minutes of each other.
For most visitors, the Richmond cluster is the trip: three key locations within a two-minute walk of each other, a real pub to finish at, and easy transit from central London. A self-guided walk handles it cheaply, while the small group and private cab tours add context and cover ground beyond the town center. Stadium fans should add Selhurst Park, and season 4 devotees have a new reason to route through Kansas City.
