Marylebone possesses the charm and tranquillity that few other inner-city neighbourhoods have. It preserves an uncrowded, village atmosphere despite its location in the heart of London. It was these qualities that attracted John Lennon, Madonna, and Jimi Hendrix to purchase homes in the area, and it is also why the Royal Princes William and Harry were schooled here as boys.

This tour shows you this elegant neighbourhood, while also uncovering Marylebone's history, famous attractions, and hidden treasures. Explore the beautiful exhibition rooms at the Wallace Collection, home to one of Europe’s finest collections of artworks, furniture, and armour. Learn about the history of Harley Street and how it rose to become the world's premier site for private medical care. Enter the idyllic Regents Park, relax beside the boating lakes and English flower gardens. This tour is your chance to discover the secrets and magic of one of London's idyllic, historic and most exclusive neighbourhoods.
