London Luton Airport (LLA) is making its way to Park Lane as it secures a prestigious spot on the board of the newly launched MONOPOLY: Luton Edition game on April 12th.
Last year, it was announced that Luton would have its own official version of the world-famous family board game. The public was invited to suggest key landmarks and organizations from the town to be included in the game.
The game showcases over 30 of Luton’s beloved landmarks, including the Hat Factory, Luton Town Hall, and Kenilworth Road, home to Luton Town FC.
At the launch event held at the LLA terminal and Luton DART station, London Luton Airport and Luton Rising, a company owned by Luton Council and responsible for the airport, joined forces with Winning Moves UK. They are the creators of the MONOPOLY: Luton Edition board game, licensed by Hasbro, a prominent toy and game company.
Oli Jaycock, Director of Corporate Affairs at London Luton Airport, says: “It’s fantastic news that the town of Luton is being recognised with its own version of Monopoly. This special edition will be a celebration of the town and its heritage and, as a proud member of the local community for over 85 years, London Luton Airport is delighted to have been chosen by local people to feature on one of the board’s most prestigious spaces as one of the town’s key landmarks.”
Mayor of Luton, Cllr Mohammed Yaqub Hanif says: “We are really excited that the Luton version of MONOPOLY has come to life. This was a really great opportunity for people to share their ideas about Luton locations that should be included as part of this iconic game. It’s great to see well-loved locations on the board along with local businesses, and charities. The board showcases so many positives on offer with our rich and varied heritage, transport links, green spaces and, of course, our very well-known football ground!”
John Keen-Tomlinson, Custom Games Executive of Winning Moves UK – makers of this unique board – says: “The response from the public has been overwhelming. A very big thank you to everyone who sent in nominations and congratulations to everyone featuring in the game.”
The MONOPOLY: Luton Edition can be found both in Waterstones stores and online, including at Booghe.co.uk and Amazon.co.uk.
