Overview

Marylebone is defined by its spectacular garden squares, each with its own character and history.

On this self-guided audio tour of the elegant London district, you’ll explore the graceful Georgian and Regency architecture that frames these green havens. You’ll also hear fascinating stories about the aristocrats and artists who’ve called these squares home over the centuries.

The tour starts at the Victorian-era Coach Makers’ Arms Pub on Marylebone Lane. You’ll stroll through Manchester Square with its grand mansions, and into Portman Square with its generous gardens.

Along the way, you’ll learn how these squares were developed as speculative ventures by wealthy landowners like William Portman, transforming what was once a rural village into one of London’s most desirable residential areas.

You’ll come across embassies, historic churches, and the iconic locations where cultural giants once lived. The tour ends at Marylebone Railway Station.
