BOOK DESCRIPTION
A book that tells the story of London since the thirties through the 28 streets, stations and utilities of the Monopoly board. In the wonderful world of Monopoly, it still only costs £50 to buy a house in Islington, you can move around London with the shake of a dice, and even park your car for free.
In Do Not Pass Go, Tim Moore, belying his reputation as a player who always paid that £10 fine rather than take a Chance, fearlessly tackles the real thing and along the way tells the story of a game and the city that frames it.
Sampling the rags and the riches, he stays in a hotel in Mayfair and one in the Old Kent Road, enjoys quality time with Dr Crippen in Pentonville Prison, and reveals how Pall Mall got its name and why the sorry cul-de-sac of Vine Street has a special place in the heart of Britain’s most successful Monopoly champion.
