Monopoly Pub Crawl – London


monopoly-pub-crawl-header

 


 

monopoly-london-pub-crawl-mapThe Monopoly Pub Crawl London is not for the faint at heart or the lightweight drinker.  It’s basically a marathon.  We want to say now that you should drink responsibly and be respectful to the bar keeps, patrons and neighborhoods you visit.  This crawl is about speed and having fun.  There are 28 stops.  These include 22 streets, 4 railroads, a Jail pub and a Community Chest pub.  We skipped the utilities companies as there is just not enough time in the day to get all these pubs in.  Most pubs open at noon, so that’s your starting time.  There is travel time that needs to be added into the crawl too.  If you’re not quick enough, you’ll meet with closed pubs by the end of the night.  Most places close early in the city of London, so keep that in mind. We’ve also tried as best we can to stick to pubs.  Unfortunately we did have to pick a couple of bars, as they were actually on the street or closer to the streets on the board then some of the pubs.  there are a couple of stops, the Vine St. location in particular, that you will have to bring your own tipple if you want to drink ON that street.  There are no pubs or bars there any longer.

Our crawl is different from the Original Monopoly pub crawl for London website.  If fact it’s different from a lot of the crawls we saw online.  Yes, we did pick some o the same pubs as those other crawls, but we had to as there were no alternatives.  With the old crawls, we found that a lot of the pubs listed are no longer open, or they were not close enough to the street locations named on the board as we had hoped.  I did a lot of research for this crawl, spending hours researching.  I believe we have an up to date, most accurate and 95% pubs pub crawl.  You can do this crawl in the order of the spaces on the board, or you can follow a straight forward route.  That being said, chose wisely and I hope you enjoy yourself.   Good Luck.

The closest pubs to Vine Street. The King’s Head or Goat Tavern across the street.  Vine street is a dead end with nothing on it.  Bentley’s Oyster Bar and Grill is on Swallow, but we don’t recommend a crowd going in there.  If your crawl is small, you might be able to get drinks without ordering food.  Your best bet is the pubs to be honest.
