Six Great Things to Do in Marylebone
1. Attendant Coffee Roasters - Fitzrovia
Just across the border in Fitzrovia, ever had a flat white in a Victorian toilet? Attendant serves excellent coffee and sandwiches from a refurbished Victorian public convenience at 27A Foley Street, with standout interior design. Follow your map closely, because it's easy to walk straight past.
Find parking near Fitzrovia and Marylebone Lane and walk the final few minutes.
2. Regent’s Park
Once you're fuelled up, head for Regent's Park, one of the most beautiful parks in London and easily a full day out on its own.
Park near London Zoo for a day with young children.
Reserve a space near Primrose Hill for something more low-key, with panoramic views of the London skyline. It's also a prime spot for sunset.
3. Madame Tussauds
Founded in London in 1835 by French wax sculptor Marie Tussaud, Madame Tussauds is a day out for all ages. Expect celebrity and royal figures, plus the Chamber of Horrors, which is better suited to older visitors than young children. Buy tickets online in advance, as queues build on peak weekends, school holidays and bank holidays.
Reserve a space near Madame Tussauds so your parking is sorted before you join the queue.
4. Sherlock Holmes Museum
The world's first museum dedicated to the fictional detective sits at 221b Baker Street, which is elementary, dear reader. It's a must for any Sherlock Holmes fan.
Book parking near the Sherlock Holmes Museum and arrive without circling Baker Street for a space.
5. Wellcome Collection
A free museum on Euston Road, a short hop east of Marylebone, with objects and artworks from around the world and a changing programme of exhibitions on health, the body and what it means to be human. Check what's on before you go.
Find parking near Wellcome Collection and book your space ahead of your visit.
6. The Wallace Collection
Tucked away in Hertford House on Manchester Square, the Wallace Collection is a free museum of paintings, porcelain, furniture and arms and armour in a grand townhouse setting. It's a quieter, more intimate stop than the big-name attractions, and one of Marylebone's best-kept secrets.
Reserve a space near the Wallace Collection and book your parking before you set off.
Dining in Marylebone: Restaurants and Marylebone High Street
Marylebone High Street is the heart of dining in Marylebone, with independent restaurants, cafes and shops along a village-style stretch that feels a world away from Oxford Street. On Sundays the Farmers' Market adds to the buzz. Between Attendant for coffee and Mercato Mayfair for dinner, you can eat well at every point in the day, and it's easy to fit a long lunch between attractions when your parking is already sorted.
Reserve a space near Marylebone High Street and park once for lunch and a wander.
Easy Parking in Marylebone
Park near Marylebone Station for the northern end of Marylebone, with Regent's Park and Baker Street within easy reach.
Pre-book rather than rely on the street. On-street parking in central Marylebone is pay-and-display or resident-only in many places, so check signs carefully if you do park on the street.
