Marylebone is a revered district in the West End of London. Bordered by Oxford Street to the south, Marylebone Road to the north, Edgware Road to the west and Great Portland Street to the east, it benefits from a prime location, well-served by public transport and major roads. For the business seeking office space, Marylebone offers a great deal. Let’s take a closer look at why you might want to make this vibrant place your new business home.
Known for its diverse residents and lively retail and leisure scene including Oxford Street and hundreds of other outlets, Marylebone is built around a strong sense of community. With its many cultural attractions, such as Madame Tussauds and the Sherlock Holmes Museum, this is a place that’s become exceptionally popular amongst residents, visitors and businesses alike.
The area, nestled in the City of Westminster borough, boasts a rich history, much of which is apparent as you enjoy a leisurely stroll around its winding streets, taking in its grand squares which offer a glimpse into the spectacular early 19th century architecture of London.
Popular Marylebone attractions and places of note
Regent’s Park is a popular Marylebone attraction with its expansive open spaces, tree-lined pathways and formal gardens, fountains, statues and memorials. One of London’s Royal Parks, it covers over 400 acres.
Baker Street is possibly Marylebone’s most notorious landmark, famous for its connection with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s fictional detective Sherlock Holmes who lived at 221B. Just like the character, the address is fictional, but in its place sits the Sherlock Holmes Museum which invites visitors to experience the detective’s famous first-floor study.
Representing the arts, The Wallace Collection is known for its impressive paintings, sculptures and furniture. The interiors are nothing short of stunning, and there’s a cosy café too. The plus point here is that it’s free to get in to admire all the artefacts.
Madame Tussauds is a museum famed for its life-size replicas of famous celebrities and historic icons. And the world-renowned Harley Street is also located in Marylebone, home to a large number of private medical specialists and surgeons.
In terms of shopping and wining and dining, Marylebone is brimming with opportunities. From the pedestrianised area of St Christopher’s Place with its boutiques and colourful buildings, to Marylebone Lane and its charming pubs, cafés and restaurants and of course Oxford Street which needs no introduction, there is a huge offering here.
Marylebone Village
Cared for by The Howard de Walden Estate, Marylebone Village is one of the capital’s most distinctive and atmospheric shopping destinations.
Located just a short stroll from the bustle of Oxford Street, the village offers an array of shopping, eating and retail experiences, all set in captivating surroundings and punctuated by period architecture and appealing green spaces.
Running through the heart of the village is Marylebone High Street, a lively stretch of shops, restaurants and cafés. The more tranquil roads that meander into it are a big part of the appeal, with Moxon Street the destination for food lovers, Marylebone Lane offering a host of small shops and cafés, and New Cavendish Street presenting a mix of specialist retailers. The common denominator here is the personal, friendly feel that you won’t fail to miss.
Marylebone Village is also home to a variety of cultural and leisure activities, from art exhibitions to masterclasses and promotions hosted by shops and restaurants. Community events are a regular fixture and include the Summer Festival and the Marylebone Christmas Lights.
