Mayfair replaced by the cathedral city of St Albans as the nation's top real estate
BBC News: Monopoly launches UK-wide edition
Cities and towns across Britain take the place of London street names on the world's most popular board game after a vote by more than one million people.
Leeds and Liverpool replace the cheap streets, Whitechapel and Old Kent Road, while posh Park Lane becomes Exeter.
A city's position on the board was set by the number of votes it received.
Thus, London, where the average price of a house is £313,000, comes before Stoke-on-Trent, Derby and Birmingham where buying a home can set you back half that amount.
However, average house prices in commuter-belt St Albans are in fact the highest among the 22 towns and cities featured.
