A giant Monopoly board has taken over Trafalgar Square.

The 15m by 15m board is graced with giant pieces and visitors have been shimmying up and down it in the sunshine.

It has been set up as part of the London Games Festival - which began on Friday and runs for 10 days - and is customised to tell the history of video games in the UK.
