If the Parker Brothers were to invent the much-loved game today, the board would look very different indeed, with Oxford Street set to be the most expensive space on the board.
Pass Go and you’ll still be greeted with Old Kent Road and Whitechapel Road, the cheapest spaces on the board, although The Angel Islington has upped sticks from position three, climbing 15 positions to become the fifth most expensive square on the board, the highest jump of any location.
In total, only six streets would remain in the same place on the board today with a further four remaining in the same colour band.
Oxford Street has leapfrogged beyond Mayfair to join Park Lane as the most expensive properties on the board, with Mayfair dropping into the oranges according to the study!
