London: Social History of Marylebone Walking Tour｜United Kingdom

Uncover the complex social history of one of London’s most fascinating neighborhoods on a walking tour of Marylebone. Discover how the area evolved, from bucolic simplicity to Georgian elegance to Victorian reform, abject poverty to modern gentrification.

Explore hidden courtyards, historic landmarks, and forgotten alleyways which bring to life the stories of those who lived, worked, and struggled here: the servants and socialites, reformers and renegades.

Learn about the development of public transport and social housing, whilst also touching upon political scandal, the world’s first and most famous consulting detective, and an unsavoury early nineteenth-century trade.

The tour begins outside Baker Street Underground Station and finishes at the Garden of Rest in Marylebone High Street. It takes about 2 hours and is generally easy, flat walking which is suitable for wheelchairs.
