Marylebone

Marylebone ( [ mɑrlɨbən ], St. Marylebone, Mary-le -bone ) is a city district in London in the City of Westminster north of Oxford Street or of the district Mayfair and south of Regent's Park. To the west is limited by the Marylebone Edgware Road or the Paddington area, to the east by the Portland Place and the Fitzrovia neighborhood.

The name derives from a St Mary's Church (now St Marylebone Parish Church) here, which stands on the banks of the small creek Tybourne. The area was therefore called St Mary at the bourne what smoothening to Marylebone later. That the name of Marie la bonne is deduced, however, is only a popular misinterpretation.

The Metropolitan Borough of St Marylebone was from 1899 to 1965 a metropolitan borough of the County of London, it was combined with the Metropolitan Borough of Paddington and the Metropolitan Borough of Westminster, the London Borough of Westminster.
