I remember playing Monopoly as a kid and thinking, “I’ve so got to visit all these places one day…” (what, no-one else?)
And now I’m here in London. And those streets on the Monopoly board? They’re real!
I know, I couldn’t believe it either. So I got my faithful Google Maps out and mapped it. And I’m going to tick it off one by one while I’m here =)
I’m not going to go all out and do it all in one day – that would be a pointless waste of time, right? But I am going to connive situations which land me near one of those spots, and whip the camera out to take evidence. Oh and look around too so next time I play, I know what I’m playing for.
The tour has begun! Check out my flickr monopoly tag =)
You never thought they were real?
Who the hell calls a street Pall Mall! or even Mayfair!
or for that matter Picadilly!
You’re so cool! (except for not knowing that those places actually existed :P)
… kidding! of course I knew they existed. I was a geek, I looked the damn places up to check they were real (back in the days before google, so it was atlas work!)
ok, you are/were cute :)
