A river breeze tugs at the hem of the high street as the guide unfolds a map of scenes — not ancient battlefields but the streets where a hit show set its heart. The walk begins in Richmond, where the Thames dares you to slow down and the town's brick facades keep watch. Over two hours, a local Blue Badge guide leads small groups past the ‘Crown and Anchor’ pub facade, the doorway used for Ted's flat, and quiet residential streets that doubled for on‑screen moments.
