If Trafalgar Square is the virtual centre of London, treat it as 'GO' and from there reach as many other streets and stations as you can. Tally up the face £ value of the Monopoly street and stations you photographed in your 60 minutes (see the list over). Also include the Tower of London (as 'Jail' a photo of the building will do) as another location. Simply tally up how many individual Monopoly street and station signs you managed to photograph in your 60 minutes.

There are three different methods for scoring: Share your results with friends and challenge them to better your score or try it as a group social run. It’s also a good idea to record your route using GPS or an app like Mapmyrun or Strava. When it finishes you need to stop photographing and jog for home (hopefully that isn’t too far now-if it is, it’s okay to grab a cab or the Tube). The 60 minutes begins when you reach your first street sign or station. You cannot take any form of transport other than your two feet (no Tube trips or sneaky hiring of Boris Bikes). You can carry a map or smartphone and you can also use the many information points on the footpaths. Free Parking does not apply for bathroom or drink stops (these are called landing on Waterworks) or for stopping to check a map or GPS (this is called landing on The Electric Company). These instances are called Free Parking and are only in situations where you are either crossing at traffic lights (use the crossings rather than take on the traffic) or for taking a photograph. You have exactly 60 minutes to photograph as many street and station signs as possible however, you can stop the watch in some instances.

The four train stations can be photographed just the same, but the photograph must be of a main entranceway showing the name of the station in large lettering. You don’t have to run down the streets themselves, just photograph one of the street’s signs (official street signs) and move on to whichever street you want to target next. Take any route you like (so long as it follows public roads and footpaths) to see and photograph (you need proof) the street signs belonging to original Monopoly streets, in any order you like. Start anywhere in the city-choosing the best location is part of the strategy. So for a unique running challenge see how many London Monopoly streets and stations you can visit (a.k.a “buy”) in an hour, seeing how rich you can get. The original British Monopoly board game involves buying and renting certain London streets.
