While playing monopoly one day with my nephew and niece, I realised I have no idea about the monopoly streets. Despite living in London!! So over the winter I decided to put that right and visit each street. I found out loads of trivia about the game and destinations too. It's fun - I recomend it as a nice bike ride.
I was secretly hoping a policeman would ask me why I was taking photos of street signs around Whitehall. I could then proceed to demonstrate all the pictures on my camera roll were from the monopoly board! It didn't happen :{
