From its earliest days as the city of Londinium in the Roman Empire, London has always been one of the most important cities in greater Europe. From trade to learning to culture, London’s influence is hard to overstate.
The long history of the city, as well as some of its best known institutions and people make the city a natural setting for many board games. Here is a sampling of games set in one of my favorite cities in the world.
