Where is Lucy’s house in Ludwig?

Lucy and James Taylor’s house in Ludwig is filmed in Ham, Richmond upon Thames. The residential setting stands in for their Cambridge home, and the private house is not a visitor attraction.

History and background

The place before the programme

Ham sits between Richmond Park and the Thames. Ham Common and its surrounding roads retain a distinctive mix of common land, woodland and historic houses. The area’s residential character means that a filming record should not be treated as an invitation to identify or visit private homes.

Ludwig production file

How it appears on screen

Richmond Council states that Ludwig Series 2 filmed in Ham during October and November 2025. The public notice confirms the neighbourhood but not a building, scene or episode, so the Casebook deliberately stops at area level.

TV Guide separately reports that the residence seen as Lucy Betts-Taylor’s home was a Richmond production property codenamed “Ham Yard.” The article also calls it “Ham Yard Hotel,” but its linked Fresh Locations record FL1609 describes a mid-century detached house, not a hotel. Treat the house match as a reported lead, not a council-confirmed address or a verified shot-by-shot identification.

Responsible access

Before visiting

Richmond Council confirms filming in Ham but does not identify an episode, scene or property. Ham Common is a legitimate public place to explore the neighbourhood, not a verified Ludwig camera position. Do not seek out suspected private homes or treat a resemblance as a location match.

Lucy’s house is not a visitor venue. Fresh Locations presents “Ham Yard” as a private shoot property and shows real photographs on its authorised listing. Those images are not licensed for reproduction here. The Casebook does not publish a house number, map pin or route to the property. The listing is for production enquiries, not tourist access; please do not approach residents or ask to view the home.

Start here: Ham Common, Upper Ham Road, Richmond TW10 5LA. The council describes its pond, avenues and woods as public open space.
Opening and cost: The council says Ham Common is accessible at all times. There is no ticket or booking for the common itself. Private houses and gardens have separate access rules.
Public transport: Richmond and Kingston are the nearest main stations named by the council. Bus routes 65 and 371 serve the area; check TfL before travelling.
Parking: The council lists free public car parks at Ashburnham Road (TW10 7NF) and Ham Street by the river (TW10 7RS). They are separate from the common; check its map, capacity and any changes before choosing one. Do not assume parking at a private filming property.
Access and facilities: The council’s Ham Common page does not publish a detailed step-free path survey. Paths and woodland surfaces may vary; ask the council about a suitable route if needed. Use its live toilet finder for nearby facilities rather than assuming toilets are available on the common.
Respect the area: Follow the council’s park byelaws and dog-control rules. Keep photographs to public places without intruding on residents, gates or gardens.
