Its square was orange in colour and it could be bought for £180. When I played Monopoly as a child the set of Bow Street, Vine Street and Marlborough Street was my favourite. Why…..I don`t know except I was very rarely beaten when the game ended. Perhaps because that set was neither upmarket Mayfair nor down at heel Old Kent Road it had an appeal as being in the middle of the market. I must remember to tell my analyst that, if ever I feel the need to unburden myself to a total stranger for £squids/hour.
Bow Street Magistrates` Court must be the most well known court name after the Old Bailey. It began dishing out justice to the villains or should that be villeins of London in 1740 and closed its doors in 2006. The enterprising individual who bought it then for c €25 million is reported to have sold it for £28 million in hard cash to an Austrian hotelier. It`s likely its new customers will have more comfortable bed and breakfast than the previous occupants of the building.
