The Strand, Fleet Street and Trafalgar Square make up the red properties, the next set on the monopoly board. Logistically it's a fairly easy set to complete as it's just one road with Trafalgar Square at one end. But to make things easier and to be at the right end of the road for the journey to the next property, Fenchurch Street Station, I will head along The Strand to Trafalgar Square first, then head back along The Strand on the opposite side of the road to Fleet Street. No doubt I will find myself crossing the road back and forth as there is a lot to see on this busy thoroughfare. Unlike some of the other sets there is no theme or connection running through them, each has its own story. Whilst it's not on the monopoly board Charing Cross gets a mention here as it's at the end of The Strand opposite Trafalgar Square and is the nearest tube station for those wishing to visit Trafalgar Square. It's also considered the 'centre of London' and is the point where all distances from London are measured.
