Clarendon’s top tips for living in Marylebone
Red brick buildings, cobbled lanes and tree lined streets – Marylebone’s beauty is undeniable. The area moves at an easy pace, making it a particularly favourable option for long stays and relocations. Bookended by Regent’s Park to the north and Hyde Park to the south, it offers walkers, runners and cyclists plenty of green spaces to explore. Early mornings are the quietest, when you’ll get these sprawling parks almost to yourself.
Clarendon’s guide to living in Marylebone
Thanks to its range of boutique shops, independent cafes and smart restaurants, Marylebone High Street is the focal point of the area’s recreational activities and a great place for residents of corporate serviced apartments in Marylebone to relax. Affectionately known as Marylebone Village, this street and those surrounding it, bustle with suited professionals midweek and groups of friends from Friday onwards. The jewel in its crown is undoubtedly Daunt Books – an independent Edwardian book shop with an expansive travel section housed over three floors. The back room – complete with mezzanine levels, stained glass windows and a vaulted ceiling – is an Aladdin’s cave of both fiction and non-fiction treasures and exactly the kind of place a bookworm might enjoy curling up with a great new story. Selfridges can also be accessed via Orchard Street, providing a one-stop-shop for all things designer. Another cultural highlight is The Wallace Collection in Manchester Square. Comprised of Old Masters paintings, suits of armour, sculptures and other historic treasures, the portfolio was lovingly curated by the 4th Marquess of Hertford in the early 19th century. With a pretty conservatory restaurant and intimate gallery feel, it’s an understated space particularly suited to quiet contemplation. Marylebone is also home to Baker Street – made famous by Sherlock Holmes, whose fictional home can be found there. Head into 221b and you’ll find an entire museum dedicated to the literary character and his famous cases. There’s also Madame Tussauds nearby, which is famous for its waxwork models of the world’s most famous people.
