Is it feasible to do a Monopoly board pub crawl in London?

When I was a kid we visited every street on the Monopoly board as a sponsored event. We didn’t drink at each (we were underage), but visiting is certainly feasible. We even managed to include the Utilities (HQ of the electric and water companies) and a prison (Pentonville – the stop that added most to our time).

If you are strict about it, it is not possible because I think none of the four stations have actually pubs in them (while Waterloo station does). There are pubs nearby but they are on different streets.

I would also say that ‘Trafalgar Square’ itself has no pub either.

Also what to do with ‘Electric Company’ and ‘Water Works’?

On the other hand, ‘Bow street’ still exists and has pubs.

It is indeed possible in theory, and VERY difficult in practice. You need to start, traditionally, at Elephant and Castle at 10am. Going at about 20-30 min per pub you will just finish before closing in Central London. It’s hard, really hard, and you need someone to keep tabs on the time and keep everyone moving.

There’s a webpage with strategies, maps and suggestions which can help you in your quest. Example map of their “original route” (pin colours based on actual Monopoly board colours):
