| rdfs:comment | - Marylebone is an area of London. Marylebone was once one of the many villages that encircled London, eventually being absorbed by the city when the British capital expanded.
- Marylebone can be roughly defined as the area bounded by Oxford Street to the south, Marylebone Road to the north, Edgware Road to the west and Portland Place (or alternatively Great Portland Street) to the east. Occasionally, this area is designated as "Marylebone Village". A broader definition of Marylebone is then used, which encompasses Regent's Park and the area immediately north of Marylebone Road, containing Marylebone Station, the original site of the Marylebone Cricket Club at Dorset Square, and the neighbourhood known as Lisson Grove to the border with St John's Wood. The west side of the Fitzrovia area up to Cleveland Street was also previously considered to be part of Marylebone.

| abstract | - Marylebone is an area of London. Marylebone was once one of the many villages that encircled London, eventually being absorbed by the city when the British capital expanded.
- Marylebone can be roughly defined as the area bounded by Oxford Street to the south, Marylebone Road to the north, Edgware Road to the west and Portland Place (or alternatively Great Portland Street) to the east. Occasionally, this area is designated as "Marylebone Village". A broader definition of Marylebone is then used, which encompasses Regent's Park and the area immediately north of Marylebone Road, containing Marylebone Station, the original site of the Marylebone Cricket Club at Dorset Square, and the neighbourhood known as Lisson Grove to the border with St John's Wood. The west side of the Fitzrovia area up to Cleveland Street was also previously considered to be part of Marylebone. Today the area is mostly residential, and since the opening of the Jubilee Line at Baker Street station (with its direct links to Canary Wharf), Marylebone - particularly Marylebone Village - has become a very sought-after area of Central London. It is also notable for the Arab population on its far western border around Edgware Road. It is also a reasonably short walk from the London Palladium theatre. The area is also a popular destination for tourists due to its proximity to many of London's main tourist attractions. It provides a comparatively quiet location whilst still being very central and even in walking distance of the immensely popular Madam Tussauds. Marylebone has a good selection of bars and restaurants and the Marylebone hotels all vary in price with both luxury and budget options available. Most of them are clustered around the tube station, making it easy for visitors to the city to get around.
