MARYLEBONE, London

Located between the busy shops of Oxford Circus and the green expanses of Regents Park, Marylebone has rapidly gained a new fashionable status.

Plagued by traffic and historically populated largely with offices, the area has seen resurgence as a residential hot spot over the last decade. A mixture of red brick mansion blocks, 1930's and 1960's developments dominate around Baker Street. Property around Marylebone's buzzing High Street comprises of flats set in elegant Terracotta and Georgian blocks (especially around Wimpole, Harley and Welbeck Streets) and a number of mews homes set in quiet cobbled lanes. The area is still largely owned by Howard de Walden and Portman Estates. Lease length affects prices.

Local landlord, Howard de Walden Estate, has gone against the typical trend in London high streets of only having the usual major chain stores, and has encouraged smaller retailers and specialist shops, which gives the High Street a mix of the familiar and individual. The upshot of this is an attractive and buzzing high-street. The second is the Jubilee line which runs via Baker Street to Canary Wharf. The result is a 25 minute direct journey from the heart of the West End into the core of the financial district.

The result has been a relatively large increase in prices in general, with the area around the High Street increasing the most. In the past, like Pimlico, one could expect a hefty discount from the equivalent properties in Chelsea, Kensington and Notting Hill. Marylebone maintains a discount, but it has reduced significantly in the last couple of years. Properties vary widely in the area: from period houses, to large mansion blocks, to the Georgian garden squares of Montagu and Bryanston and all the mews in between.
