We are the West Kent Walking Group. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

This is the second part of our walk where we go to each named location on the Monopoly Board. We will have covered the South and East locations in the morning. There is no obligation to have done the morning walk
We will meet at 14.30pm outside of the front entrance to Kings Cross station – as you look out from the station we will be to the left of the Pret-a-Manger. Our first destination we can literally see from the start point – Euston Road! We then have quite a long walk – past the British Library, The Wellcome Collection, Euston Station (bizarrely not on the Monopoly board), The Royal Academy of Music, Madame Tussauds and the statue of Sherlock Holmes before heading up to Marylebone station where we will have a brief toilet and drink stop.
We then drop down via Mayfair to Park Lane. We then walk along Oxford Street – ticking off at speed – Bond Street, Great Marlborough Street, Piccadilly, Pall Mall and Coventry Street. Then across to Leicester Square, through Covent Garden to Bow Street, back along The Strand to finish at the iconic Trafalgar Square – where we can see Northumberland Avenue and Whitehall to complete our list!
We will in effect be playing Monopoly Bingo and a crib sheet will be distributed on the day. Even if you missed part 1 you will still be able to pick off a number of the board pieces (top hat, iron etc) and other cards such as community chest.
Because we will be going through very busy parts of central London this is a no dog walk.
If you can, please RSVP to this walk via our Meetup site. This will give our volunteer walk leaders an idea of how many are attending.
