Not only named as one of the stations on the classic Monopoly board, our iconic Fenchurch Street station once hosted the British Monopoly Championships. On the 22 September 1975, over 240 Monopoly players arrived at Fenchurch Street station platforms 3 and 4 to compete for the British title and a chance to play against the world’s best Monopoly players in New York. Watch the Newsround footage from 1975 of the championships at Fenchurch Street station on the BBC Archive Facebook page.<\/a><\/p>\n
