Marylebone has a quality that is rare in central London: it genuinely feels like a neighbourhood. Despite sitting just north of Oxford Street, the area around Marylebone High Street and the Georgian grid surrounding it has the rhythm of a village – and a well-heeled one at that.

The architecture is handsome, the streets are calm, and the daily experience of working here, from morning coffee at Daunt Books end to lunch on the High Street, is consistently good.

Professional services, creative and media businesses are well represented in Marylebone, many of them in converted period townhouses and mansion buildings that have been upgraded to a high standard without losing their original character.

Larger, refurbished buildings around the fringes towards Regent Street and Great Portland Street provide more substantial floorplates for businesses that need them.Regent's Park – one of London's finest open spaces – is within walking distance, and transport connections are strong.

Baker Street is a major interchange served by five lines, Bond Street offers the Jubilee, Central and Elizabeth lines, and Marylebone mainline provides fast services to the northwest.
