The 10 Best Things to do in Marylebone, England
The crown jewels, Buckingham Palace, Camden Market…in London, history collides with art, fashion, food, and good British ale. A perfect day is different for everyone: culture aficionados shouldn't miss the Tate Modern and the Royal Opera House. If you love fashion, Oxford Street has shopping galore. For foodies, cream tea at Harrod’s or crispy fish from a proper chippy offers classic London flavor. Music and book buffs will love seeing Abbey Road and the Sherlock Holmes Museum (at 221B Baker Street, of course).

A free to visit, national museum in the heart of central London. Originally a private collection, the artwork was bequeathed to the nation by Lady Wallace in 1897. This attraction features one of the world's best collections of French 18th-century pictures, porcelain and furniture, plus a fantastic array of 17th-century paintings.

Sofra in St Christopher's Place is one of my favourite places to catch up with friends. The staff are always friendly and helpful, the food is delicious and the prices are extremely reasonable. It is very central but tucked away in a picturesque alley

The first day of our most recent stay in London saw us visiting some parts of the city which we had not been to before. After taking the tube from Paddington to Oxford Circus, we walked north along Langham Place up into the Marylebone neighbourhood. Here we saw the quaint All Souls Church, B.B.C. Broadcasting House and the associated B.B.C. facilities, along with some elegant Georgian buildings, some of which housed embassies of various counties. We then made our way along New Cavendish Street and into Stratford Place. Here we saw the embassies of several African nations and some more buildings featuring impressive architecture. Marylebone is certainly an impressive neighbourhood which is well worth a visit by any tourist spending time in London!

We rounded the corner and found this lovely museum. Very well up kept and some interesting pieces including Rembrandt and armor of the 16th-17th Century. There is a lovely lunch area under a solarium ... also we heard some of the very knowledgeable curators educating visitors and it was fascinating.

This concert hall is in the centre of Marleybone, in what used to be the medical district, at the crossing of Wigmore Street and Wimpole Street. It is right near the Royal Society of Medicine, which is in and of itself worth a visit for the magnificent medical library. It is hidden in plain sight. You would walk right by it unless you knew to look. The beauty is inside, and is both visual and acoustic. This is not a large hall. It is bigger than a chamber music stage, but smaller than what you would expect for a full orchestra. Built in the high Victorian era, it was rebuilt and renewed at the turn of the 20th century with wonderful Art Deco flourishes. It holds only a few hundred people. There is a sense of intimacy in the audience and with the stage. We heard Purcell and Rameau, both intstrumental (early instruments) and vocal. The acoustics were excellent, especially for the vocals, but the harpsichord, lute, horns, recorders and strings were exceptionally well balanced. The repertoire is unique and subsidized tickets are available at two levels for those under 25 years of age and those under 35. There is a commitment to making the concerts accessible to young people. This is a treasure. Most everyone who likes classical music will find a program of interest, and will enjoy both the music and the experience.

Although there have been two previous churches on it near this site, the present occupant is in a High Regency style and dates from 1811-17. Designed by Thomas Hardwick it has entranced beneath columns both adjacent to Marylebone High Street and the main entrance in Marylebone Road. It has a steeple in three sections. It survived bombing in WWII apart from its windows shards from which were used in new designs when the church re-opened in 1949. Its interior is opulent and ornate with lush green furnishings and a large amount of marble directly in front of the altar. The pulpit lacked the customary eagle. I noticed that Sunday Eucharists feature complete mass settings, last Sunday Stravinsky's Mass which was originally scored for wind instruments and whose Sanctus features antiphonal exchanges between male choir and orchestra which resemble a noisy flatulence. Outside the main entrance today coffee was being served. A pleasant garden surrounds the rear entrance. There have been a number of exhibitions of contemporary art here.
