During my summers I worked in hotels, mainly in the guest services department. I “took three years off to travel after university. I went to Fiji and New Zealand for eight months, then to Australia for two years. It was only supposed to be one year off, but ended up as three. I loved it. I lived in Sydney first and then travelled up to Port Douglas, Queensland, for those years and worked in hotels there. You only get a two-year holiday visa. One of the hotel managers in Australia said I should come to London, so I did and took a PR course here as a sort of upgrade from my degree, but I ended up working in a hotel on weekends. So I just sort of fell into it. I never actually got a job in PR, so I don’t even know exactly what I would have been doing! The most memorable moment in Australia was working as an extra on a movie, The Thin Red Line, for almost seven months. I was with my friend and we had spent all our money and that just popped up. We were up on war ships in the middle of the ocean for about two weeks during filming – that ended up as about two minutes of footage. I arrived in London in 1999 and worked at opening a few 5-star boutique hotels. I had the opportunity to start working for The Arch and opened this hotel five years ago. This is a great little hotel. We have 82 rooms, so not too big, not too small. It’s also a great location: right in the centre of everything. 8 as told to There’s Hyde Park for all the joggers and so many nice places for people to go out in Marylebone and Mayfair. It’s the perfect location and the perfect size. We have demanding guests; they know what they want. For example, one group wanted last- minute Wimbledon tickets, which were quite hard to get. There are a lot of regulars, too. During the summers we get many families, so there is a lot of organising family activities and, during the winter period, we get many business travellers so there are different tasks for this kind of traveller. I remember one of the funniest incidents was these guys who were going to a party in drag, so we needed to find high-heeled shoes in size 14 at the last minute for three men. We had to find a specialist shop in the end. My manager here encouraged me to apply for the Golden Keys. It’s quite a long process. You need sponsors and at least five years of concierge experience to actually apply. Then you need to go before the board if they accept you. There’s a test and I was asked about “We needed to my knowledge of London and find high-heeled my own hotel. I shoes in size 14 was also given scenarios and at the last asked what I minute for would do. Plus three men” I had to know about The Society of the Golden Keys. It was more intense than I thought it would be, lots of studying, but it’s all good to know that stuff anyway. Also, you get to go to the International conferences (Les Clefs d’Or International Congress 2014), which is in Argentina this year. Now this Theo was talking to Tim Arbabzadah award is for life. ” IMAGES OF THE ARCH LONDON COURTESY OF THE HOTEL 10 happenings Historic landmark set in stone FIFTY YEARS on from the original executed for almost 600 years. dedication of the Tyburn Stone plaque Edgware Road Partnership, the on September 29, 1964, stone masons Tyburn Convent, Westminster City have meticulously repaired and restored Council and Transport for London invited the historic landmark.

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.

    THE ST MARYLEBONE SOCIETY NEWSLETTER Summer 2019 Number 356 www.stmarylebonesociety.org Registered Charity 274082 PLACE SHAPING IN MARYLEBONE Following restructuring of the planning department at Westminster City Council (WCC) last year, John Walker stepped down as Director of Planning and a new post was created for his successor Deirdra Armsby – ‘Director of Place Shaping’. To open the debate on what this means the 2019 St Marylebone Society (SMS) planning walk with WCC Councillors, planners, conservation officers and local stakeholders will follow a route that illustrates how the SMS have ‘shaped’ Marylebo ne’s townscape over the past 70 years. Since their founding in 1948, the SMS have insisted that the ‘public realm’ (that is the space between buildings) was cared for in exactly the same way as the historic buildings, maintaining that both contribute equally to Marylebone’s distinctive character. Perhaps the most important SMS campaign was its first – that to prevent the demolition of the Nash Terraces post WW2. It is impossible to imagine Regent’s Park without these Grade 1 classical structures, which surround the open space, connect with and frame the landscape and create a place of national heritage significance. Thousands of people enjoy it, not just for its unique design and beauty, but because they feel comfortable, safe and relaxed within it. Indeed it is these buildings and the roads, railings and hedges that enclose and ‘shape’ the park. The SMS has always assumed ownership and responsibility for the public realm, a stance which som e might consider proprietorial and somewhat inappropriate. However, this attitude stems from a genuine love and respect of the place we call ‘home’ alongside an understanding that local authorities need help and may not be in a position to prioritise beauty and ‘sense of place’ within their stretched budgets.

  • Marylebone Lane Area
    DRAFT CHAPTER 5 Marylebone Lane Area At the time of its development in the second half of the eighteenth century the area south of the High Street was mostly divided between three relatively small landholdings separating the Portman and Portland estates. Largest was Conduit Field, twenty acres immediately east of the Portman estate and extending east and south to the Tyburn or Ay Brook and Oxford Street. This belonged to Sir Thomas Edward(e)s and later his son-in-law John Thomas Hope. North of that, along the west side of Marylebone Lane, were the four acres of Little Conduit Close, belonging to Jacob Hinde. Smaller still was the Lord Mayor’s Banqueting House Ground, a detached piece of the City of London Corporation’s Conduit Mead estate, bounded by the Tyburn, Oxford Street and Marylebone Lane. The Portland estate took in all the ground on the east side of Marylebone Lane, including the two island sites: one at the south end, where the parish court-house and watch-house stood, the other backing on to what is now Jason Court (John’s Court until 1895). This chapter is mainly concerned with Marylebone Lane, the streets on its east side north of Wigmore Street, and the southern extension of the High Street through the Hinde and part of the Hope–Edwardes estates, in the form of Thayer Street and Mandeville Place – excluding James Street, which is to be described together with the Hope–Edwardes estate generally in a later volume. The other streets east of Marylebone Lane – Henrietta Place and Wigmore Street – are described in Chapters 8 and 9.
