Here s a novel way to see London West End when you next visit the UK.
Consider a Monopoly Board Pub Crawl of London and visit your favorite spots in London that correspond to places on the Monopoly Board Game.
There is a sample of locations for you to select from below and of course you can add to or amend the destinations according to your desire.
How many locations that you actually stop at to have a drink, depends on the amount of time and budget allowance that you have allocated to your day out and non alcoholic drinks are allowed. You could of course drive by as many of the key locations as you like if you are going to do it by car/minibus instead of Public Transport for example, without even getting out of your vehicle!
All you need to do is plan your chosen route, take your ideal companions with you and then have a really memorable Pub Tour of Central London.
Here is our sample Venues List for your Monopoly Board Pub Crawl:
OLD KENT ROAD: The Green Man Opposite Dunton Road, the Duncow surgery and Tesco s.
