Mayfair on the Monopoly board may be worth only £400 , but with soaring house prices the reality today is eye-wateringly different . A four-storey townhouse in the exclusive London area now sells for £40million , while even a flat in the cheapest Monopoly area of Whitechapel has gone for nearly £5million . In light of such ludicrous prices , one estate agent has now re-imagined the classic board game – set in desirable English market towns . The new Mayfair is picturesque Beaconsfield in Buckinghamshire , where homes go for more than £872,000 on average . Petworth , in the South Downs National Park in West Sussex , is the second most exclusive town on the board , taking the place of Park Lane . Old Kent Road and Whitechapel Road – both worth £60 and often seen as the game ’ s dud streets unless you can build a hotel on them – have been replaced by Morpeth and Wooler in Northumberland , where average houses sell for about £220,000 . Upmarket estate agent Savills has also reinvented Bond Street , Regent Street and Oxford Street as Harpenden , Berkhamsted , and Bushey , all in Hertfordshire , where family homes routinely sell for more than £500,000 . Piccadilly , Leicester Square and Coventry Street , priced at between £260 and £280 , become Salcombe in Devon , and Chipping Campden and Northleach in the Cotswolds . At the slightly cheaper end , Ilkley in West Yorkshire becomes the new Northumberland Avenue , nearby Wetherby replaces Pall Mall , and Poynton in Cheshire is £120 Pentonville Road . Lucian Cook , of Savills , said : ‘ We looked for towns with the highest average value across different regions of the UK. ’ The current version of Monopoly was printed by Parker Brothers in 1935 , although earlier versions date back to 1904 .
Soaring house prices illustrate Monopoly 's now outdated property values . The board game 's crowning property of Mayfair costs £400 to buy . In reality , properties in the posh London area cost up to £40million . A real estate agent has now re-imagined the classic Salcombe board game . He has mapped out the equivalent areas set in desirable English towns .
