-A '''Monopoly pub crawl''' is a [[pub crawl]] involving the visiting of [[public house]]s on each of the streets of a [[city]] which appear on that city's version of the [[monopoly game|Monopoly]] board. This is classically done in [[London]], following the [[United Kingdom|British]] version of the [[game]], but could just as easily be applied to anywhere else having a dedicated Monopoly board and a sufficient quantity of pubs or bars.
-==London version==
-The London version of the pub crawl follows the list of locations in the British version of the game of Monopoly. Different routes are required, depending on whether the properties are to be visited in the same order that they appear on the board, and whether the four stations are to be included. Finding an optimal route is an example of a [[travelling salesman problem]].
-Visiting all the properties including the stations in strict order is the longest route<sup>[citation/proof needed]</sup> and requires much back-tracking. Visiting just the regular properties in strict order, with the stations interspersed where most convenient ([[Fenchurch Street Station|Fenchurch Street]], [[Liverpool Street Station|Liverpool Street]], [[Kings Cross Station|Kings Cross]] and finally [[Marylebone Station|Marylebone]]), is much shorter, although [[Strand, London|the Strand]] has to be traversed twice. Allowing more flexibility in ordering allows for shorter routes.
-In any case, [[Old Kent Road]] is a logical starting point as it is both the first property on the UK London Monopoly board and the most distant property from the others.
-It is not uncommon for participants to take a Monopoly board on the route and have each pub sign the corresponding square of the board.
