Why live in Marylebone?
Marylebone has one of the capital’s best locations; a stone’s throw from Oxford Street, with Regent’s Park and Hyde Park both within walking distance. Despite being so central, it retains a pleasantly peaceful ambiance, enhanced by its tree-lined streets and elegant houses.
The area flourished in the 18th century, with wealthy families flocking to Marylebone to soak up the refined atmosphere. Some of its famous ex-residents include Charles Dickens and Charles Babbage, and more recently, Jimi Hendrix and Madonna.
It has its own tube station, which connects commuters to Oxford Circus in under five minutes. It’s also quick and easy to reach other key locations, like Kings Cross and Bank. However, many people choose to walk instead, as much of Central London is within easy reach. For example, it only takes fifteen minutes to stroll to the West End.
For tenants and homebuyers looking for tranquillity and peace, while cashing in on the benefits of being in the heart of the city, this is the ideal location.
Things to do in Marylebone
Marylebone has a strong sense of community. You’ll detect this welcoming, independent atmosphere straight away, thanks to the local Farmer’s Market, not to mention the cafes and independent shops in the area. Daunt Books is one of the capital’s best-loved bookshops, and you’ll find it right here in Marylebone, along with a library and the much-loved Everyman Cinema, which is on Baker Street.
If you want to enjoy some retail therapy, Oxford Street is a short walk away, and for an evening’s entertainment, all of the West End’s theatres, cinemas and restaurants are within easy reach. Fitness fans appreciate the proximity to Regent’s Park and Hyde Park, and there are plenty of local gyms close by.
For a day out with the children, a visit to the world-famous Madame Tussauds is a must, and The Wallace Collection provides a great afternoon’s entertainment for art-lovers. There’s also Wigmore Hall nearby, which regularly hosts live music performances.
Property in Marylebone
Marylebone is well-known for its beautiful architecture, with many of the properties being 18th century townhouses, complete with numerous bedrooms and generous living space. These Georgian homes are always snapped up quickly, thanks to their wealth of period features.
There are also some lovely Victorian terraced houses and apartments situated in mansion blocks. In fact, if you’re fond of historic architecture, this is the perfect location for you.
However, that’s not to say that modern architecture isn’t well-represented here.

Some of these flats come with extra facilities, like an on-site gym and 24-hour concierge service.
Although it’s not uncommon for properties to fetch several million in this area, there are some more affordable options available. If you’re keen to find out more about buying or renting a home in Marylebone, get in touch with our team today.
