\n\tFull of history, hidden gems, beautiful parks and home to Sherlock Homes – Marylebone is one of the most infamous areas in London.\u00a0We’ve recently started running a range of Singing Lessons<\/a> in the neighbourhood (at Rudolf Steiner House), and to celebrate we wanted to provide a run-down of the things\u00a0you shouldn\u2019t miss out on if (and when) you find yourself that side of W1…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1.\u00a0Sherlock Holmes Museum<\/a> <\/strong>| 221b Baker Street, NW1 6XE<\/span><\/p>\n

This boutique museum is the kind of museum you were excited about for school trips. It\u2019s run privately and is the official ODE to the world renowned fictional character \u2013 Sherlock Holmes. Upon entry, you\u2019re greeted by \u2018Doctor Watson\u2019 wearing his bowler hat and attire. Here you\u2019ll find an exact replica of Sherlock\u2019s study, folders of fan letters addressed to the man himself, murder weapons and more. In fact, every aspect of the museum lets visitors travel back in time into this imaginary world we loved in the books and on screen.<\/p>\n

2. Regent\u2019s Park<\/a> <\/strong>| NW1 4NR<\/p>\n

Regent\u2019s Park is world famous and there\u2019s no denying why. Even on a scorching hot summer\u2019s day (when we have one) this park doesn\u2019t seem to get as noisy or busy as Hyde Park and we count that as a blessing. Beautiful flowers spread across 410 acres, cafes and The London Zoo \u2013 what\u2019s not to love? It\u2019s a bit more civilised which makes it the perfect spot for a quiet picnic. Last but not least, in the summer it hosts Regents Park Open Air Theatre which features fantastic plays. Outdoors.<\/p>\n

\"Marylebone<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0The Cockpit Theatre<\/a> <\/strong>| Gateforth Street, NW8 8EH<\/p>\n

This fringe theatre presents and produces shows and events on a regular basis. The shows they put on are varied and they aim to support emerging companies as well as the re-imagining of old classics. It was built in the seventies and is still going strong.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0Wallace Collection<\/a><\/strong> | Hertford House, Manchester Square, W1U 3BN<\/span><\/p>\n

A prestigious art collection (pictured; top) open to the public and one of the city\u2019s secret gems. It features 25 galleries displaying\u00a0 18th<\/sup> century\u00a0French paintings, furniture and Old Master paintings. Located in a luxurious townhouse, the ambience is approachable and unpretentious. Oh, and it\u2019s free to enter.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0Daunt Books<\/a><\/strong> | 83 Marylebone High Street, W1U 4QW<\/span><\/p>\n

This original Edwardian bookshop is every book lovers’ dream. It mostly specialises in travel books and is rumoured to be the first custom bookshop in the world. The interiors are grand, featuring high ceilings, oak galleries and regal skylights.<\/p>\n

\"Marylebone<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0The Ivy Caf\u00e9<\/a><\/strong> | 96 Marylebone Lane, W1U 2QA<\/span><\/p>\n

They Ivy – one of the UK\u2019s most famous dining institutions (and popular with A-list celebrities) have just launched the The Ivy Caf\u00e9, a more informal eatery with the same standard of food but friendlier on the wallet. It showcases a caf\u00e9-style menu with breakfast, lunch, cream tea and dinner. You\u2019ll be spoilt for choice with dishes such as crumpets served with Marmite for breakfast\u00a0or an A La Carte menu offering chicken liver parfait with caramelised hazelnut or \u00a0a\u00a0cherry\u00a0and Szechuan pepper compote. Fine dining at a fraction of the cost.<\/p>\n

7.\u00a0Les Providores and Tapa Room<\/strong> | 109 Marylebone High Street, W1U 4RX<\/span><\/p>\n

An exquisite restaurant which brings classy Antipodean fusion cuisine to Marylebone whilst housing the biggest list of premium New Zealand wines in London. Split over two floors, downstairs is the more informal area which is a firm favourite of the locals for brunch (especially for their Turkish eggs), as well as a big selection of tapas. Upstairs is perfect for an intimate special occasion and focuses more on fine dining. \u00a0By the way, don\u2019t confuse Tapa with tapas (small plates), because \u00a0it\u2019s actually a type of tapestry, one of which is on display on the back wall in the restaurant.<\/p>\n

8.\u00a0L’atelier des Chefs <\/strong>| 19 Wigmore Street, W1U 1PH<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018An interactive cookery school with lessons by professional chefs on global cuisines and techniques\u2019. \u00a0We can vouch that their courses will be fun, informative and oh so tasty. Learn how to make dim sum, fresh pasta, steak, sushi and much more from scratch, plus – you get to eat what you\u2019ve prepared when it\u2019s all done with your group. You don\u2019t have to be a culinary pro to make a 3 course fine dining meal, one thing is for sure though, you\u2019ll be eager to host a dinner party and show off your new skills to friends. Classes start from \u00a315.<\/p>\n

9. Wigmore Hall<\/a> <\/strong>|\u00a036 Wigmore Street, W1U 2BP<\/p>\n

An exemplary international concert and recital hall that specialises in solo classical performances and chamber music. You can find early music and classical song to chamber music and jazz from soloists, soprano and piano duets as well as group and orchestral performances. A full brochure of performances and schedules is available to download from Wigmore Hall\u2019s website.<\/p>\n

10. Carousel London<\/a><\/strong> |\u00a071 Blandford Street, W1U 8AB<\/p>\n

A remarkable event space and restaurant\u00a0hosting one of a kind culinary experiences, pop ups and guest chefs.\u00a0 You can expect monthly exhibitions from up-and-coming talent in their Upstairs gallery space, video installations, film screenings, spoken word poetry, live acoustic sets, theatre workshops, yoga brunches and much more. Keep up to date on what\u2019s in store by checking their website.<\/p>\n
