Overheard: Richmond & Ted Lasso pub

During a recent trip to London, I paid a visit to Richmond. While I was there, I thought to look around some Ted Lasso filming locations. The building which 'played' Ted's apartment now has a shop dedicated to Ted Lasso / AFC Richmond. I decided to have a drink at The Prince's Head, the exterior of which is The Crown & Anchor in the series.

The bar is a fairly typical English pub, serving food and drinks. The staff were friendly, in that English charming way. What I noticed most was a more-than-typical number of tourists visiting because of the Ted Lasso connection. And I love people watching and listening, so here's what I saw and heard.

• 3 boys wandering in but getting turfed out 'without mum and dad'
  
  
• Two German men carefully asking how many millilitres are in a pint of beer
  
  
• Two Americans deciding to split their meal - 'Sharing a fish and chips, are we boys?'
  
  
• Two guys debating what 'other shows are actually on Apple TV...?' They agreed on The Morning Show with Rachel from Friends.
  
  
• A family of five ordering their drinks, and then all instantly started looking at their phones
  
  
• The bar was not full but busy, a steady stream of people coming in and leaving. A lot of debate from new people: Should we stand at the bar?
