Living in Marylebone

Marylebone, thanks to an imaginative regeneration of its High Street, has seen a rebirth over the last decade from a forgotten backwater into one of London’s most cosmopolitan neighbourhoods.

Sandwiched between Oxford Circus and Regents Park, Marylebone is a Zone 1 hotspot for commuters who are attracted to its quiet streets of charming Georgian squares and terraces as well as its traditional pubs and boutique shops.

Named after the medieval church St Mary’s originally built on the banks of the Tybourne, the W1 area is famous as the home of fictional detective Sherlock Holmes and Harley Street, the heart of England’s medical profession.
