Improbable Richmond: Ted Lasso, Rock Legends and a Hidden Royal Palace

2 hours

Easy

Royal drama, rioting cricketers, Rolling Stones - and all the locations that inspired your favourite football coach

Richmond is a corner of London that's famously beautiful, and had more than it's fair share of drama. And we don't just mean the ups and downs of AFC Richmond.

Join this tour to see the backdrops to your favourite Ted Lasso moments, while digging into the stories and visiting the sights that make Richmond one of the most historically rich places in England. Highlights include:

  • The hidden royal palace that was home to Henry VIII and Elizabeth I - that parliament sold for scrap
  • The club that launched the Rolling Stones, while watched by the Beatles
  • The Green that's probably Englands oldest sporting venue - from jousting, to cricket to Ted Lasso playing football
  • The Hill with a view so beautiful - it's protected by an act of Parliament
  • And the royal barge maker, who built a submarine!

Topped up with opportunities for lite bites, this classic 2 hour tour ends on Richmond Green, where you can get a pint in Ted Lasso's local, and our recommendations for the best pub lunch or afternoon tea.

Groups are deliberately small - maximum 10 - to give you the best opportunity to take part, ask every question you like and feel the charm  that Richmond has oozing out of every corner.
