What locals say about Marylebone
“Marylebone has developed into a very cosmopolitan central London area, which has a lovely village feel to it, despite being a stone's throw from Oxford Street. The high street is now populated with an eclectic mix of shops and restaurants, which are not the usual run of the mill high street names. On Sunday there even is a farmers market with local produce from just outside London. Despite being in the heart of London, there is a great community spirit and people actually know their neighbours! It is close to the delightful rose gardens of Regents Park and Hyde Park and there are very good public transport facilities all within walking distance.”

“For me, Marylebone makes the heart of London feel like a countryside community. Having grown up in a rural part of the UK i thoroughly enjoy the bustling farmers market, extensive variety of shopping and delicious eateries. A classy area for all to enjoy!”

“I'm a keen runner and so it's great to be close to the parks. There's a beautiful high street and great transport links to get around.”

Amélie Crépy Solo Exhibition
For the first time Amélie will be presenting a solo show during London Craft Week. She will be launching a new line of luxury upholstery fabric hand-dyed in a biodegradable black derived from plant-based dyes.

Amélie's journey into natural pigments and inks began in 2019, following a severe reaction to a synthetic pigment powder. Determined to find a similarly unique colour with richness and depth, she sought to use only the purest materials and minimal resources. This dedication has culminated in her latest body of work.Read more
Olivier Bancoult - A Cry For Freedom - Book Launch
This event focuses on the recent book covering the life of Olivier Bancoult, one of the population of the Chagos Islands evicted in the late 1960s to create a UK/US Military base on Diego Garcia. Prevented from returning home after a medical visit to Mauritius, Oliviers life has been a struggle over decades to regain the paradise islands where he was born. Enduring the poverty and bewilderment of Exile, he has led the Chagossian peoples fightback. This book tells the story of Oliviers life as the backdrop to their struggle, catapulting him to the forefront of a series of high-profile law cases in every court in England, to the European Court and to the Supreme Court of the USA. Finally the United Nations and the World Court took notice of their plight and has decreed that it is Mauritius, rather than the UK, that is sovereign of these islands, leading to the great powers agreeing to hand them back- and finally paving the way to Olivier and the Chagossians returning home. Launch to be moderated by theRt. Hon. Jeremy Corbyn MP. Please click link to register in advance. This event is free of charge and refreshment will be available.Read more
About Marylebone
Marylebone is an affluent, inner-city area of central London, located within the City of Westminster. It is sometimes written as St. Marylebone or Mary-le-bone. Marylebone is in an area of London that can be roughly defined as bounded by Oxford Street to the south, Marylebone Road to the north, Edgware Road to the west and Great Portland Street to the east. A broader definition designates the historic area as Marylebone Village and encompasses neighbouring Regent's Park, Baker Street 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 to the border with St John's Wood. The west side of the Fitzrovia area up to Cleveland Street was also previously considered to be part of Marylebone. Today the area is mostly residential, with many medical and dental offices, traditionally concentrated in Harley Street. Since the opening of the Jubilee Line at Baker Street station (with its direct links to Canary Wharf), Marylebone — particularly Marylebone Village — has become an even more sought-after area of Central London.
