Marylebone
Before it was named after a church, Marylebone’s original name was Tyburn and that was the name of the stream or river that flowed through the area. Then after some time, the village was renamed after the original St. Mary’s church.
This church was built along the banks of the same Tybourne river. Lady Henrietta Cavendish Holles and her husband saw a need for fashionable houses and engaged the services of surveyor and builder John Prince to design a street grid system that was rational.
This is about the time that Marylebone started to grow population-wise. The original firehouse was built in 1889 and was decommissioned just over 100 years later.
In 2013, this famous Marylebone landmark became a now trendy hotel and restaurant. The firehouse is not the only famous location in this neighbourhood. Abbey Road and Baker street can also be found within its boundaries.
Along with members of the Beatles band, Charles Dickens used to live in this village. Finally, Madonna bought one of her London properties in Marylebone. Today, you will find some fine dining and shopping when you visit the neighbourhood.
It is a trendy place to visit and walk its fabled streets. Marylebone Lane is one of the hot spots and a must-visit road. No visit is complete without going to that ancient lane before you leave the village.
