The advantages of working in Marylebone
The Marylebone area, which spans north from Oxford Street up to the lower limits of Regent’s Park, benefits from a unique village-in-the-city feel. This atmosphere has long-attracted affluent tenants and prestige businesses looking to settle in the area, and this has cultivated a number of unique advantages that make it an excellent place to work.
Marylebone’s retail riches
The sign of a vibrant neighbourhood is a buzzing and lively high street. Marylebone’s chic High Street is densely populated with indie boutiques and sophisticated stores. Off the high street, elegant side streets are where some real hidden gems can be found. Find fashion stalwarts like Theory and Monocle and gems like Sunspel and Oska, homeware from Caravane and David Mellor, and legendary Edwardian Daunt Books for bookworms. All that, plus Selfridge’s is just a moment away.
This unrivalled complement of businesses makes Marylebone the ideal place for those in the fashion or creative industries to relocate to, both for collaborations and to take advantage of its well-earned status as a home for these sectors.
A thriving café culture
When you’re seeking caffeine or a place to meet, Marylebone doesn’t disappoint. For an artisan coffee, take a wander down Chiltern Street to the hipster Monocle Cafe, treat the senses at the temple of coffee, Arro, or enjoy some organic farm goodness at Daylesford. Head to Hagen for a dose of speciality coffee with a side of Danish hygge. This unbeatable selection of beautiful cafés will leave you spoilt for choice when it comes to grabbing yourself a coffee before locking-in for a productive morning, or a warm place to take colleagues for an out-of-office chat.
Lunch like a Marylebone local
This buzzing neighbourhood serves up a treat at lunchtime. Perch on the benches of La Fromagerie with a fresh baguette, choose from seasonal salads, burgers and steaks at Boxcar Baker and Deli, or grab something delicious from the hidden basement bakery of AOK Kitchen. Try tapas with a twist at Twist Connubio, share an Argentinian feast at Zoilo, or go for relaxed, all-day dining at the renowned Ivy Cafe. Whether you’re looking for a team dining experience in the middle of the day or a refined snack to keep you going, lunching in Marylebone during the work week is a step-above the food courts and supermarkets other parts of London promise and one thing our Marylebone clients value highly.
Workout or wind down
When you need to collect your thoughts and refocus, unwind after a busy day of work, or simply take a phone call away from the buzz, Marylebone’s calm atmosphere caters for wellbeing. Find a plethora of green spaces only a short walk away with Regent’s and Hyde Parks, and Portman Square Garden, Paddington Street Gardens, and the Churchyard of St. Marylebone Church located within Marylebone itself. Plus, the historic architecture makes even a simple walk around the area relaxing.
For something more active at lunch or at the end of the working day, go for a workout, swim or steam at urban sanctuary, Third Space.
After hours in W1
Marylebone is a maze of refined bars, pubs and high-end restaurants. The Marylebone is a well-loved local haunt, Grazing Goat is a quaint rustic pub and Clarette is an art-deco wine bar that’s perfect for after-hours work socials.
If you’re looking to entertain clients, you’re in luck. Head to The Hart on Chiltern Street for dinner or drinks, or feast on Greek meze at Opso. A table at the legendary Nobu in Portman Square gets you the finest Japanese fare, while Santo Mare serves up exquisite Italian seafood.
Positioned in the heart of London
Despite the village feel and selection of unique amenities from London’s best parks to Michelin-starred dining, Marylebone’s position is hard to beat. Already well-established a home for business, you’ll be surrounded by like-minded companies – perhaps including some of your exiting partners or clients!
