And, if along the way you fancy purchasing the town’s ‘crown jewels’ well, you can, for just MONOPOLY Money!
Today it has been announced that Watford is getting its very own version of the world’s most famous board game.
The new game will see the town’s leading landmarks replacing the likes of Mayfair and Park Lane from the original classic London MONOPOLY board.
The board is being themed in sets from heritage to entertainment, shopping to sport, business to leisure - and more, each genre to reflect the verve and vibrancy of Watford. The train station set – comprising of four main-line stations in the original classic London MONOPOLY – will take on a ‘travel’ theme.
The game will hit the shops in time for this Christmas (2026).
It is quite exciting to see a town like Watford featured in such a classic board game format. These local editions often bring a sense of community pride and help highlight the unique landmarks that define a specific area.

I look forward to seeing which local spots make it onto the final board.
