Have you ever watched ‘Ted Lasso’ and wondered where they film those charming soccer scenes and quaint English locations? You’re not alone in your curiosity!
Let’s dive into the real-world locations that bring the show ‘Ted Lasso’ to life, showing where the American college football coach takes on English soccer.
The Real-World Locations of Ted Lasso
‘Ted Lasso’ films in and around London, England. The show captures the essence of English football culture by using real locations that evoke the spirit of the sport in the UK.
While the fictional team AFC Richmond has its home ground at the equally fictional Nelson Road Stadium, scenes set in this stadium actually get shot at Selhurst Park. Selhurst Park is the real home of Crystal Palace Football Club. It’s located in South London and brings authenticity to those matchday scenes we all love.
Bringing the Fictional to Life
Beyond the stadium, ‘Ted Lasso’ also takes viewers through iconic London scenes and lesser-known spots. The production team uses various locations across London to represent the city’s diverse neighborhoods and the quaint English countryside that surrounds it.
From Richmond’s picturesque streets, where Ted strolls, to the local pub, The Crown & Anchor, which serves as the team’s unofficial meeting spot; these places, while they might employ a bit of TV magic, are based on real locations. The pub scenes are shot in a West London pub that captures the essence of a traditional English local.
