About Marylebone Sandwiched between Oxford Street and Marylebone Lane is one of London's most appealing areas. Marylebone remains a community in the very heart of London. Here you find little shops that have been in business since well before the war, flower stalls that have been around since the 1940s, backstreet pubs and a myriad of other charming glimpses of a London that has changed little over the past century. At the same time, the area houses smart boutiques, chic design stores and and some particularly fine restaurants. Despite this, Marylebone has made no concessions to tourists and the majority venture no further than the queue to enter Madame Tussaud's on its northern border. The emphasis remains on providing for the community of people who live here.
