We are now close to the end of our little adventure. It was already very chilly by the time we reached Park Lane, of which, wasn’t really a ‘lane’. Definitely not a small narrow road that i had in mind. I realized then that I had been here numerous times on the Hyde Park side without noticing 🙂
We crossed the street to take a closer look on the other side, where we caught sight of a couple of high-end car showrooms. Sadly I didn’t get to take a lot of pictures here as my phone started acting up in the cold.

Park Lane is the second most valuable property in the London edition of the board game Monopoly. The street had a prestigious social status when the British version of the Monopoly board was first produced, in 1936. On the board, Park Lane forms a pair with Mayfair, the most expensive property in the game. The squares were designed to be equivalents of Park Place and Boardwalk, respectively, on the original board, which used streets in Atlantic City, New Jersey. In 1988, the World Monopoly Championships were held at the Park Lane Hotel, sponsored by Waddingtons, manufacturers of the British version. Since the game’s original production, prices on the real Park Lane have held their value, though average rent costs have been overtaken by Bond Street.
