You may have noticed during the last couple of weeks that Google has teamed up with Hasbro to create the hugely popular online game Monopoly City Streets. This is based on Google Maps, where users can play the game by purchasing their favourite streets from around the world.
So we at Gartoo.co.uk thought it would be interesting to put together a list of the UK’s top 20 properties, not surprisingly these are all located in London! Many of which are owned by Mr Monopoly and will be openly available for auction in the near future:
Top 20 properties on Monopoly City Streets:
1. Euston Road – £2,809,000,000

Interestingly there are 20 properties in the UK which are clearly very overpriced, although as a guide for which are the most valuable streets makes the Monopoly valuation very credible. Out of the current properties to rent in Euston, eighteen of those are owned by the game itself at the moment, although the Daily Telegraph and Press Association have managed to secure an expensive property each too. It’s possible this is part of a marketing campaign as it’s unlikely that they have built up a profile which can afford properties at these prices so quickly.
As reported recently by Nestoria Germany, the online game has received a huge boom in popularity since being launched and many people across the globe have been snapping up their favourite properties. So which streets have you bought or have you got your eye on one of the top 20 when the auction opens up?
