Does the Monopoly board still price London right?
The Monopoly board coloured by the median price of a home on or near each real street, from sales between January 2020 and September 2026. Whitehall and Pall Mall, two of the cheapest squares, are among the most expensive real streets; Park Lane and Leicester Square are worth far less than the board suggests. Hover over or tap a street to see both of its prices.
And ranked: the 14 streets with enough home sales, by their price on the board and by their real price, each band in its Monopoly colour.
