Calling a mathematician and simplifying. If the board was 10 squares (Go to Go) and you had one dice. After how many throws would you have had a 90% chance of landing on every square?
No chance.

It's impossible to have one dice.

There's a Brighton version of monopoly as well!
Grope a prostitute, thereby also fulfilling "chance"

You could use this as community chest - https://www.crick.ac.uk/engagement/community-engagement/community-chest/
Go to jail - Pentonville? Free parking could be tricky if you weren't on your bike.

Thanks @jay clock, @vickster and I (and one other) made an attempt on this yesterday.
First thought was to do the whole thing. I plotted a route based on @jay clock's https://www.strava.com/routes/7123310 that included everything around the board with Health Centres and charities for Community Chest, bookmakers for Chance, a police station for Go To Jail and even HMRC. I couldn't find free parking anywhere around the strand or Piccadilly, and I forgot (but @vickster remembered) to include a bank. Indeed, the Bank.
But it's winter, the trains were messed up so we only met about 12.30 and Tower Bridge is closed - so we decided to simplify, and just hit as many points as we could in a semi-optimal order. Also, I think the backtracking involved with doing it in order would get a bit tedious.

It was quite a nice ride, except Oxford Circus and Covent Garden on a fine December day were a bit hazardous with pedestrians. We finished at Kings Cross station, that had a train that would take @vickster and the other home. When they pointed out that we only had Angel, Pentonville Road and Whitechapel Road left, I decided to finish the board before heading home.
We've got pictures of street signs etc at all the points, but none of us are on Instagram, so we didn't do it live. I'm missing a few (phone battery) so will leave vickster to add hers.
