Dan Creek keeps hearing the same question from the first-time patrons with odd accents who drop by The Prince’s Head in southwest London: Is this the Ted Lasso pub?

Yes, it is the place where Jason Sudeikis’ character drowns his football and family sorrows, and Creek welcomes the curiosity. He’s the general manager of the real-life watering hole, in the leafy and well-heeled borough of Richmond, that appears in the Apple TV show under the fictional name The Crown & Anchor.
