Fans of the hit US comedy Ted Lasso, which is based in Richmond, will get the chance to stay at the pub at the centre of much of the action.
The Prince's Head on Richmond Green, which is known as the Crown & Anchor in the Apple TV+ show, will offer rooms as part of a partnership with Airbnb to celebrate the launch of the third – and possibly final – season on March 15.
The pub is just around the corner from the coach of AFC Richmond's home and he is regularly seen enjoying a pint and food inside.
At the same time, fans of the team can be seen following the team's fortunes on TV at the pub, which is managed by on-screen landlady Mae, played by Anette Badland.
Speaking about the venture with Airbnb, Anette, who will be present for the Ted Lasso themed event, said: "The Crown & Anchor is an essential fixture for AFC Richmond – it's where friends, colleagues and teammates come together to celebrate our triumphs or cope with the agony of relegation.
"That's why I'm pleased to host guests (and take the night off!). Time to give others the opportunity to experience the same camaraderie and sense of community that Coach Lasso inspires. After all, we're Richmond 'til we die!"
A spokesman for Airbnb said: "Situated in Richmond and right around the corner from Ted's apartment, this traditional English pub is a gathering place for football fans and locals alike, as well as the unofficial meeting place of AFC Richmond players and coaches.
"Guests will experience what it's like to stay overnight at the historic, neighbourhood pub for the first time, while putting themselves in the shoes of AFC Richmond coaches, players and those pesky bar flies alike."
Fans of the show will be able to try and reserve an overnight slot for up to four guests, who will have the opportunity to stay later this year - October 23, 24 and 25.
Those lucky enough to get a reservation can expect to enjoy some tasty London gastro pub food, all the while cheering on the beloved local Richmond sports team.
There will also be a competitive round of darts to join in, or for those not wishing to try their luck with the arrows, the pinball machine's top scorer's list is begging to be refreshed.
For those who prefer a more mellow competition, you can take a seat at Ted's favourite table in the pub and challenge other guests to a round of chess. Visitors will be able to enjoy Ted's game-changing biscuits.
Ted Lasso fans can find out more details and request a booking at the pub beginning Tuesday, March 21, at airbnb.com/tedlasso - https://www.airbnb.co.uk/rooms/694055224756906854?_set_bev_on_new_domain=1678295220_ZDYzYWRiZGIwM2M2&source_impression_id=p3_1678296462_nS0CB7R4h1CbooTB
