Queen - Play The Game (1980)
Play The Game extra content - flats, transportation, and workplace
yes i did spend a few hours researching the neighbourhoods and apartment flat complexes in London, and the public transportation, too.
(From left to right)
stars- Rosiers and Barty, James and Sirius, Grimmauld Place, Regulus
circles- London Police station, Black company
(all under the cut)
Regulus
He lives on his own in One Park Drive, on the 56th floor. It is a 197 sq m duplex penthouse. It's in the Canary Wharf area, and it's worth £4.4M
Here's a tour , but he renovated and changed all the furniture because he doesn't like the decor. He literally chose this specific flat because of the small courtyard space where he goes out to read, write, draw, listen to music, or just relax. So here are some pics of what it looks like now. First room is the master bedroom, the second one is the spare one.
Barty, Evan, and Pandora
The Rosiers and Barty live in a 598 m2 3 bedroom duplex penthouse in Knightsbridge. They live in Trevor Square, in a building that used to be the Harrods chocolate factory. (omg wonka?) I couldn't find the price but a larger flat in the same building is £25m so.... let's say about £12m idk the Rosiers and Crouchs have a lot of money ok? Don't ask me questions about realistic things
Regulus rarely goes over there because he knows Sirius lives in Mayfair, and he does not want to run into him. He only goes to Mayfair in the early mornings, knowing there's no way Sirius is awake (yes he saw James without even knowing it was him)
Here's a tour. and a few pictures of what they look like. The first building is where they live, the second one is right around the corner. Bedrooms are Barty, Pandora, and Evan.
Now, don't hate me, but they are high-class welathy business people. They HAVE to have nice rooms
Sirius and James
As mentioned multiple times, they live in Mayfair. ngl when I described their flat I didn't have one in mind, so I just made it up. But this one is very similar. I didn't find the exact building though, trust me I TRIED.
It's Sirius then James.
Lily and Remus
Well, their flat is in Bristol so we won't see it much. But here are a few pics :) they aren't filthy rich so they have a normal place
The Black company building they work at is in Canary Wharf, like 5 minutes away from Regulus' flat. He can literally see it from his window (pretend it's the Citi tower)
this is reggie's office bathroom btw
Workplace and transportation
The City of London Police office James and Sirius work at is in Spitalfields, a bit north. Grimmauld Place is in Islington, which is where Walburga and Orion live. Sirius and Regulus grew up in the Black Manor in Boulogne Billancourt. The Rosiers are also from France, and they lived close to Black Manor.
To go from Reggie's flat to the Rosiers' (and Barty) takes around 30 minutes. They walk across the street to Jubilee park, take the Jubilee tube for 7 stops, from Canary Wharf to Green Park for 13 minutes.
Then, they walk to the Picadilly station, hop on the tube for 2 stops and get down in Knightsbridge (3 minutes). They walk for a couple of minutes to their place in Trevor Square.
To go to work, Sirius and James walk towards Hyde Park for about 10 minutes, then they hop on the Jubilee tube at Green Park (this is why Reggie avoids visiting his friends at all costs) and ride it for 2 stops, hopping off in Baker Street.
They then walk for 2 minutes to the Circle line, ride it for 7 stops, and get off in Liverpool street 7 minutes later. They walk for around 3 minutes to the station.
did i just write 3.5k words of JUST jegulus’ first interaction? yes, yes i did.
