Estate Agents Marylebone Guide to the Area

Marylebone estate agents Kubie Gold Associates are pleased to bring this information to you. We hope you find it useful. 

Location and History 

Marylebone can be roughly defined as the area bounded by Oxford Street to the south, Marylebone Road to the north, Edgware Road to the west and Portland Place (or alternatively Great Portland Street) to the east. A broader definition would also include Regent's Park and the area immediately north of Marylebone Road, containing Marylebone Station, the original site of the Marylebone Cricket Club at Dorset Square, and the neighbourhood known as Lisson Grove.  

Today the area is mostly residential.

Marylebone gets its name from a church called "St Mary's" (now known as St Marylebone Parish Church) which was built on the bank of a small stream or "bourne", called the Tybourne, in an area named after the stream, Tyburn. The church and the surrounding area later became known as St Mary at the Bourne, which over time became shortened to its present form, Marylebone.

Such place names in the neighborhood as Cavendish Square and Portland Place reflect the Dukes' of Portland landholdings and Georgian-era developments there. 

Borough 

The Metropolitan Borough of St Marylebone was a metropolitan borough of the County of London between 1899 and 1965 after which it was merged with the Metropolitan Borough of Paddington and the Metropolitan Borough of Westminster to form the City of Westminster: http://www.westminster.gov.uk

The St Marylebone Society, the oldest amenity group in Westminster, was formed in 1948 to help save war-damaged Nash Terraces in Regent's Park. It continues to campaign to protect the architectural heritage and character of St Marylebone while acknowledging and helping to manage the pressures on an increasingly popular part of London. Westminster City Council is required to consult the Society on planning and licensing issues. The Society's planning committee meets monthly to provide expert recommendations on applications affecting its area of jurisdiction, which lies north of Marylebone Road. http://www.stmarylebone-society.org

There is also area forum meetings held regularly: Westminster Area Fourm Meetings

Our Favourite Shops 

One of London's more discreet neighbourhoods, this district between Oxford Street and Regent's Park is where many of the capital's private health clinics, plastic surgeons and dentists are located. However, not everyone comes to Marylebone for a nip and tuck, the streets are also crammed with smart shops, European-style cafes and restaurants.

Marylebone High Street is an ideal place for a leisurely stroll, especially if you weave your way into St Christopher's Place. Away from the busy, traffic-laden streets, this paved area is a hamlet of fashion shops and trendy eateries. And, at the slightest glimpse of summer, tables and chairs spill out on to the pavements for al fresco dining.

It runs sub-parallel to Baker Street and terminates at its northern end at the junction with the Marylebone Road. Notable shops include the main branch of the bookseller Daunts Books and the Scandinavian furniture retailer Skandium, in addition to the Michelin-starred Orrery restaurant.
