Overview

If you play the Monopoly board game and happen to live in London or have abundant knowledge about London’s geography, you will have known all those names mentioned in the original UK version of the game.  Have you ever planned to see all those familiar places through a different lens? This walk series is designed to visit all the streets / places /stations featured in the game.  Part 1 is to cover places in South London, East London and the City. From Old Kent Road, the oldest road mentioned in the game, stroll towards the river Thames.  Crossing Tower Bridge, we will see other places mentioned in the game located in the financial district and new booming city quarters.  

Lunch:  At the end of the walk - plenty of eateries around Liverpool Street.

Train:  Elephant & Castle (Zone 1/2) is served by Thameslink trains and the Bakerloo Line tube. Return from Liverpool Street (Zone 1) served by Central, Circle, Hammersmith & City and Elizabeth Lines, London Overground and Nat Rail.

Please note: many factors can affect how long a walk takes and the finish time given is an estimate only.
