Location of Marylebone in Greater London |
Marylebone ([ ˈmɑrlɨbən ], St. Marylebone , Mary-le-bone ) is a neighborhood in London in the City of Westminster north of Oxford Street or the district of Mayfair and south of Regent's Park . Marylebone is bounded to the west by Edgware Road or the Paddington district , and to the east by Portland Place and the Fitzrovia district.
The name is derived from a St Mary’s Church (now: St Marylebone Parish Church ), which stands on the banks of the small stream Tybourne . The area was therefore called St Mary at the bourne , which later became Marylebone. The fact that the name is derived from Marie la bonne is just a popular misinterpretation.
The Metropolitan Borough of St Marylebone was a Metropolitan Borough of the County of London from 1899 to 1965 , then it was united with the Metropolitan Borough of Paddington and the Metropolitan Borough of Westminster to form the City of Westminster .
