Monopoly Walk: Park Lane to Fleet Street
Details
Metropolitan Walkers is part of the Ramblers, Britain's walking charity. All welcome for 3 'taster' walks, after which please join the Ramblers - info on the Met Walkers website
We will be walking anticlockwise from “Go”, starting at Park Lane [Dark Blue] and ticking off iconic properties from the London Monopoly board. From Mayfair, we will make our way through the retail hubs of Oxford Street [Green] and Regent Street, heading south-east.
Along the way, we will visit Vine Street [Orange], the shortest street on the entire board, and pass the former Marlborough Street Magistrates’ Court, now a hotel; this route brings us down to Whitehall [Pink] and Trafalgar Square [Red].
We will cover both ends of the Strand, taking a detour through the bright lights of the West End and Leicester Square [Yellow]. Finally, we will cross into the City of London past the Temple Bar dragon to finish on Fleet Street.
By the end, we will have covered 17 board locations and completed 6 full colour sets, which is surely a winning combination. No Speeding!
You will not collect £200, but you are very welcome to join us for a drink at the end, provided we all manage to avoid the least popular square on the board. There is an optional luxury tax to be paid to the walk leader (in the form of a pint).
