Here We Go Round The Monopoly Board (UK) Quiz

To buy Old Kent Road would set you back a mere £60. It is one of two properties in the cheapest "brown" set, the other being Whitechapel, which also costs £60.

In real life, Old Kent Road is the only property that is located south of the River Thames. It runs from the so-called Bricklayers Arms Roundabout near Elephant and Castle, due south-east until it becomes New Cross Road around Peckham. It is a very ancient route, having been part of Watling Street in Roman times.

As you move round the board, Euston Road is the second of the three properties in the "light blue" set, the others being The Angel, Islington and Pentonville Road. Euston Road and The Angel cost £100 each, while Pentonville is £120.

In real life Euston Road forms a short section of the A501, and runs from the junction with Great Portland Street along to King's Cross Station, at which point it becomes Pentonville Road, its Monopoly board neighbour.

As you turn the corner past the "In Jail" square, you come to the set of three "pink" properties. The first of these is Pall Mall, which costs £140.

The actual Pall Mall forms a short section of the modern A4, and runs from Trafalgar Square as far as St James Palace. It is known for the number of historic Gentleman's' Clubs located along its length, such as the Reform, the Athenaeum and the Travellers.

There are two "utilities" on the board, Water Works and Electric Company, each of which costs £150 to buy. On the Monopoly Board Water Works is located between Coventry Street and Piccadilly, two of the yellow properties, but costs rather less than them.

Bow Street is the first of the "orange" properties, and costs £180. In real life, it runs roughly south-east from Long Acre for a short distance before becoming Wellington Street and running down towards the Strand. Bow Street is distinguished for having a well-known Magistrates Court on one side of the road, and the main entrance to the Royal Opera House Covent Garden on the other.

There are four railway stations, one on each side of the Monopoly board. Fenchurch Street is the third of these and is situated between the "red" and "yellow" properties. Each station costs £200 to buy.

The actual Fenchurch Street Station is one of London's smaller main line rail termini, and plenty of Londoners would be hard pressed to place it on a map. In fact, it can be found just north of the Tower of London, with trains running from there to East London and Essex.

After the "Just parking" square come three "red" properties: Stand, Fleet Street and Trafalgar Square. Trafalgar Square is the most expensive of these, costing £240.

The real Trafalgar Square is one of London's iconic locations, with Nelson's Column in the centre and the National Gallery on the north side. The Strand leads directly off Trafalgar Square and runs north-east towards Aldwych, before linking with the third red property, Fleet Street.

Coventry Street is the second of the three "yellow" properties, and costs £260. In real life it is located in the heart of London's West End and runs for a short distance between Leicester Square and Piccadilly, the other two "yellows". It takes its name from one Henry Coventry, who was secretary of state during the reign of King Charles II.

Skipping (we hope) past the "Go To Jail" square, you come to the "green" set, which are starting to get a bit expensive. Oxford Street costs £300 just for the basic property.

The real Oxford Street is one of London's most famous shopping streets, and runs on an east-west axis between Tottenham Court Road and Marble Arch. Perhaps its most famous store is Selfridges, founded by the eponymous Harry Gordon Selfridge in 1908. The other two "green" properties, Regent Street and Bond Street, branch off Oxford Street to the south.

At the end of the circuit are the two most expensive "dark blue" properties, Park Lane and Mayfair. Mayfair costs a hefty £400.

Mayfair is in fact a district of London rather then a single street, and is roughly bounded by four other Monopoly properties - Oxford Street to the north, Regent Street to the east, Piccadilly to the south and Park Lane to the west. It remains one of London's most exclusive and expensive neighbourhoods.
