Bound by Aybrook, Moxon, Cramer and St. Vincent Streets, Marylebone Square is reintroducing a long-lost local street pattern to the area. MARYLEBONE SQUARE INTRODUCTION A Rare London Find What is it about Marylebone? Perhaps it’s the elegance of its architecture and the charm of its boutiques and eateries – or the surprising tranquillity of its tree-lined streets, a world away from the bustle of nearby Oxford Street. In the end, it might be the sense of community and leisurely pace of life that sets this neighbourhood apart. As the city buzzes with its busy schedules, Marylebone takes its time – savouring sit-down coffees in local cafés and loungy lunches in the park. It’s easy to forget you’re just a short stroll away from transport hubs, tourist attractions and all the trappings of big city life. As you find yourself “Marylebone Square idling around the shops on chic Chiltern Street, exchanging hellos with the butcher at the Ginger Pig or sunbathing in a quiet corner of Paddington Square is a collection Gardens, you quickly realise that this is a place where people actually live – of 54 high-end not just commute to, pass through, or visit for a few hours a day. apartments, Essential services like schools and surgeries comfortably sit alongside fine dining restaurants and stylish boutiques.

A particular kind of venture was required to realise its true potential and reinforce the vibrant, village-like character Marylebone is renowned for. With its proposal to preserve the local farmers’ market in a versatile community hall – and offering a unique “Marylebone selection of boutiques, restaurants and residences – Marylebone Square was Square will the perfect fit. reinstate a lost The missing piece street pattern and As Marylebone has evolved, from a once-scruffy village to a rekindled urban inject life back neighbourhood, one thing has remained a constant: its sense of community. into a rare and But for the past five decades, a crucial part of its urban fabric has been left The Story of a bare.

Marylebone Square, in all its understated glory, will not only reimagine the classic London mansion Treasured Site block but it will also reinstate a lost street pattern and inject life back into a sought-after and unique space. 2 For a piece of once noble land in Central London to remain unclaimed is unheard of. Yet, for the past five decades this prime spot at the heart of Marylebone has been left untouched. Surrounded by lively streets loaded with tales of past generations, this preserved patch of land – taking up the space of an entire city block – has its own story to tell. An unusual provenance It all began in 1966 when London County Council took ownership of the land that, at the time, was home to a block of terraced Victorian houses. Before this, it belonged to The Howard de Walden Estate that to this day are still freehold owners of most Marylebone buildings. After a compulsory purchase order to build a primary school for the community was issued, the terraced Victorian houses were knocked down. However, much to the dismay of the neighbourhood and the estate, the school was never built. Frozen in time Caught up in years of debate and deliberation – and passed from one bureaucratic organisation to the other – the land remained empty. A natural gathering place at the heart of the community, it became the home of the local Back to the neighbourhood farmers’ market – and was otherwise used as a commercial car park.

Secretary of State for Education. 8 9 MARYLEBONE SQUARE THE HISTORY A new nobility Half a mile south-west of Marylebone Square, you’ll find The Grazing Goat pub, whose name forms an unlikely clue to the story of the district. This area was once hundreds of acres of farmland making up the Portman Estate, first acquired by Sir William Portman, Lord Chief Justice to Henry VIII, in 1532. To this day, much of Central London’s most sought after real estate is owned by five aristocratic Regent’s Park families whose claims date back to a time when the land stretching beyond the narrow, twisting streets of Tudor London was meadow and pasture. Today, the story of Marylebone is still being told. In Marylebone Square, there is a new chapter being added to the story of London. This tract of the most treasured turf in the city has until now remained unclaimed. The site lies between the Portman Estate to the west and the Howard de Walden Estate to Great Portland Regent’s Street the east. Marylebone Square captures the grandeur of its surroundings, while Park maintaining the sensitive approach to stewardship characteristic of the area’s famous landlords.

  • St Marylebone Parish Church Records of Burials in the Crypt 1817-1853
    Record of Bodies Interred in the Crypt of St Marylebone Parish Church 1817-1853 This list of 863 names has been collated from the merger of two paper documents held in the parish office of St Marylebone Church in July 2011. The large vaulted crypt beneath St Marylebone Church was used as place of burial from 1817, the year the church was consecrated, until it was full in 1853, when the entrance to the crypt was bricked up. The first, most comprehensive document is a handwritten list of names, addresses, date of interment, ages and vault numbers, thought to be written in the latter half of the 20th century. This was copied from an earlier, original document, which is now held by London Metropolitan Archives and copies on microfilm at London Metropolitan and Westminster Archives. The second document is a typed list from undertakers Farebrother Funeral Services who removed the coffins from the crypt in 1980 and took them for reburial at Brookwood cemetery, Woking in Surrey. This list provides information taken from details on the coffin and states the name, date of death and age. Many of the coffins were unidentifiable and marked “unknown”. On others the date of death was illegible and only the year has been recorded. Brookwood cemetery records indicate that the reburials took place on 22nd October 1982. There is now a memorial stone to mark the area. Whilst merging the documents as much information as possible from both lists has been recorded. Additional information from the Farebrother Funeral Service lists, not on the original list, including date of death has been recorded in italics under date of interment.

  • Character Overview Westminster Has 56 Designated Conservation Areas
    Westminster’s Conservation Areas - Character Overview Westminster has 56 designated conservation areas which cover over 76% of the City. These cover a diverse range of townscapes from all periods of the City’s development and their distinctive character reflects Westminster’s differing roles at the heart of national life and government, as a business and commercial centre, and as home to diverse residential communities. A significant number are more residential areas often dominated by Georgian and Victorian terraced housing but there are also conservation areas which are focused on enclaves of later housing development, including innovative post-war housing estates. Some of the conservation areas in south Westminster are dominated by government and institutional uses and in mixed central areas such as Soho and Marylebone, it is the historic layout and the dense urban character combined with the mix of uses which creates distinctive local character. Despite its dense urban character, however, more than a third of the City is open space and our Royal Parks are also designated conservation areas. Many of Westminster’s conservation areas have a high proportion of listed buildings and some contain townscape of more than local significance. Below provides a brief summary overview of the character of each of these areas and their designation dates. The conservation area audits and other documentation listed should be referred to for more detail on individual areas. 1. Adelphi The Adelphi takes its name from the 18th Century development of residential terraces by the Adam brothers and is located immediately to the south of the Strand. The southern boundary of the conservation area is the former shoreline of the Thames.
