Marylebone Property

Buying advice for property searching in Marylebone, London

Marylebone has come up considerably in the last few years mainly as a result of two factors.

The first has been an unusual move from the local landlord, the Howard de Walden Estate, which goes against the trend in London high streets of having only the usual major chain stores. Instead it has encouraged smaller retailers and specialist shops, which give the High Street a mix of the familiar and the individual. The upshot of this is an attractive and buzzing area. 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 in comparison with 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.
