England : London Sunday london Ride: Monopoly Edition - 19 November

yebbut I'm informed it's no longer wanted. Cos it's broke, innit.

It'll sit in my shed waiting to be used in some way and when my daughter comes home from my funeral, she'll throw it away.

Not if you've stitched it into something useful first.... ;-)

Oh, and which location was Jail, please?

Chance?

A casino, but I was unable to get a photograph.

Thank you - I had a feeling that a casino might be the likeliest candidate, in the spirit of the game. I'm guessing that it would've been somewhere round Mayfair / Park Lane.

ETA - Could've been a random bingo hall somewhere - albeit not quite within the spirit of the game.....

It was near Leicester Square.

The casino was in Coventry Street on the run in to Leicester Square.

Oh yes. I’d forgotten that. Thank you @User13710

The last is the Old Kent Road.

 

[booze and cake]

Going by the sign clue on the 1st one I'd guess Baker St

2nd one looks like Haymarket, which I don't think is on the monopoly board, so I'm guessing its meant to be Trafalgar Square or Pall Mall

3rd one is the Strand I think

4th one I'd say Whitechapel rather than OKR

 

[Markymark]

I have four photos that I can't identify - can anyone help me out?

They are a bit rubbish, I know, and my camera's zoom has stopped working, so I couldn't zoom in on the road names. They might well be nothing to do with the Monopoly board of course!

Is there a monopoly road called Old Men's Arses then??

Looks like a fun ride, if it's ever done again I'd love to come.

Whitechapel. I meant Whitechapel, but my fingers disagreed. I was even the one who pointed it out to @User13710 on the day.

Looking at the route we took, the first one, which @booze and cake so rightly points out as being Baker Street has Porter Street opposite and is taken from Bicknell Street, so not a Thing on the Board. Old Men's Arses it is.
