Some images from our Historic Marylebone Walk which took place on the 7th November 2014.

The walk explored Marylebone, a tasty slice of history sandwiched between two slabs of Georgian new town, to the east the Howard de Walden estate centred on Cavendish Square to the west the Portman estate centred on Portman Square

Once a country village bordering the River Tyburn, Marylebone has become fashionable at the end of the twentieth century when a number of chic boutiques and cafés opened on Marylebone High Street which runs through the centre of the area.

We encompassed the beautiful Royal Academy of Music, Charles Dickens bas relief, the St Marylebone Parish Church where the poets Elizabeth Barrett and Robert Browning were married on 12 September in 1846.  The medical world of Harley Street and the magnificent Adam brothers Portland Place...we were privileged to see inside 33 Portland Place where the King's Speech was filmed and ending in a small oasis of Cavendish Square.
