The London version of the game was successful, and in 1936 it was exported to Continental Europe, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, [4] becoming the de facto standard board in the British Commonwealth. [5] It became such a success in the UK that Waddingtons ran Monopoly competitions in locations depicted on the board; one such contest was held on platforms 3 and 4 of Fenchurch Street station. [6] The resulting board has been perennially popular around the world, with the chosen locations becoming familiar to millions. [7] Tourists from as far as Canada, Singapore and Saudi Arabia have been known to visit specific locations in London because of their presence on the Monopoly board. [5] In 2003, Watson's grandson (also called Victor Watson) unveiled a plaque at what is now a branch of The Co-operative Bank, the original location of the Angel, Islington, to commemorate the elder Watson's contribution to British popular culture.

There appears to be no specific motivation for how they were chosen; when the travel writer Tim Moore searched the Waddingtons' company archives he did not uncover any relevant documentation. [13]The locations on the standard British version of the board game Monopoly are set in London and were selected in 1935 by Victor Watson, managing director of John Waddington Limited. Watson became interested in the board game after his son Norman had tried the Parker Brothers original US version and recommended the company produce a board for the domestic market. [1] [2] He took his secretary Marjory Phillips on a day-trip from the head offices in Leeds to London and the pair looked for suitable locations to use. [3]

The Indian Supreme Court had earlier issued an injunction on the broadcast until further arguments in the case could be heard, but Sahara successfully appealed. Over the last 25 years, Winning Moves has produced a variety of special official versions of Monopoly - from Palm Springs to Sydney and Dubai to Dublin.We are talking about expanding fundamental and applied research in the field of generative artificial intelligence and large language models,” Mr Putin said.
