What to do and see in Marylebone, England: The Best Museums
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.

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.

Redevelopment of much of Cork Street once the epicentre of London’s art scene sent many long-established galleries in search of new homes and others in a state of deep-freeze. A few years on and trendy new spaces at once more contemporary and commercial have been occupied by more contemporary and commercial galleries. Some spaces have been temporarily occupied for this year’s Frieze week, itself unable thanks to Covid-19 to occupy its huge twin tents in Regent’s Park but instead inhabiting online viewing rooms from galleries worldwide, some of whose exhibitions can be visited in person. One of the best of these is in the pop-up Lisson Gallery removed time Cork Street. It features paintings and sculptures by some of the great names in contemporary art including a pot on a plinth inscribed Coca Cola by Ai Weiwei, a psychedelic blue sphere by Anish Kapoor, a bronze gate by Tony Cragg, a box of geometric shapes by Haroon Mirza.some intriguing works by up and coming artists such as Laure Prouvost such as a half painted tent in three parts called The Hidden Paintings Grandma Improved and a willow branch with an attached glass element entitled Swallow We Will Feed The World. All very stimulating and intriguing. But perhaps because of its patchwork quilt of colour my personal favourite was Patrick Whitney’s untitled painting from 1986. In contrast with its neighbours requiring a long title or even with a mini thesis attached the Whitney is left to speak for itself.

Went to the Sherlock Holmes Museum today and I thoroughly enjoyed every part of it was incredible. The staff were very friendly, helpful and pleasant who guided you to the next floors of the building. Every room was filled with nice, quaint and dainty items that belonged to Sherlock and Dr John Watson along with figures of who Sherlock has come across in his path and descriptions about them. Would recommend anyone to go to the museum if you're a fan of the TV series with Benedict Cumberbatch or the classic novels.
