Monopolising London

Posted on: 13 October 2009

Last week, Charlotte and I decided to descend on London for the day. Not uncommon, however this time we were on a mission: visit every monopoly property on the board. After a full 12-hour slog, we finally reached our target... well, close enough.

Naturally we took a photo everywhere we stopped, and the above collage is proof. There were a few exceptions, however. We found out afterwards we'd completely forgotten to visit Fenchurch Street Station. It's not on the Underground, which would explain it. We were a little disappointed though.

The second exception was Marlborough Street. We were looking for an area in London called Marlborough, which of course didn't exist; a fact we discovered around 11pm. We found out later we should've been looking for Marlborough street, a small road in South Kensington. Ah well - can't win 'em all.

So after a stupid amount of map reading, various phone calls, countless help from Underground staff & members of the public, a little intuition and downright determination we hung up our boots for the day. Mark my words, this will be done again. And it will be done 100% this time!
