Usually, in the quest to tour famous locations from film and television, you’ll look to board a tour bus, tour the studio soundstages or hire a local expert guide.
With the explosion of holiday home renting, there’s a more unorthodox way to see famous sites, with a whole lot more access and immersion. These spots have all been made available through Airbnb and could make for the ultimate fan holiday.
Ted Lasso’s local pub
In the beloved TV show Ted Lasso, AFC Richmond fans, players and coaches often congregate at the local pub, The Crown & Anchor. The lovable bar owner, Mae, is a die-hard supporter of the football club, who keeps her community united with generous hospitality, poignant advice and pints.
To celebrate the return of the show’s third season, Annette Badland, who plays fan-favourite Mae, will be hosting three stays for travellers keen to see the TV pub in real life. The bar is actually called The Prince’s Head and will be open to guests for three nights in October, where they’ll be able to experience life at Ted’s local. The stay will allow guests to enjoy darts, football, karaoke and “garbage water” (Ted’s interpretation of tea) while sitting in the coach’s usual spot.
