History of Marylebone
The name Marylebone originally came from the church called St Mary's which happened to be on the edge of a small stream called the Tybourne. The church is still there today but is now called the St Marylebone Parish Church.
The existence of Marylebone can be traced back as far as 1086 and has had links with the royal family since 1538 when King Henry VIII created a Royal Hunting Park beside Marylebone. This is now known as Regent's Park. Until the early part of the 18th century, most of the area now known as Marylebone was still covered by fields and farms. However, like many other areas of London it was soon developed and became part of London city. The development of Marylebone was a fairly slow process with a number of architects developing the area over some time. Architects famed for their work in the area include John Prince who built Cavendish Square in 1719, Robert Adam who built Portland Place in 1770, and John Nash who designed Regent's Park in 1811.
Created by an aristocratic family that still has links to the area even today, a large part of Marylebone, including Marylebone High Street and streets to the east, has, since 1715 been commonly known as the Howard de Walden Estate. This area is also home to the UK's top private medical care specialists with its range of private dentists, surgeons and doctors all found along Harley Street.
