and St. Vincent Streets, Marylebone

designed, desirable neighbourhood square, presents a rare opportunity for
residents, businesses and the local community. Marylebone Square, in all
its understated glory, will not only reimagine the classic London mansion
block but it will also reinstate a lost street pattern and inject life back into
a sought-after and unique space.
For a piece of once noble land in Central London to remain unclaimed is unheard
of. Yet, for the past five decades this prime spot at the heart of Marylebone
has been left untouched. Surrounded by lively streets loaded with tales of past
generations, this preserved patch of land – taking up the space of an entire city
block – has its own story to tell.
An unusual provenance
It all began in 1966 when London County Council took ownership of the
land that, at the time, was home to a block of terraced Victorian houses.
Before this, it belonged to The Howard de Walden Estate that to this day are still
freehold owners of most Marylebone buildings. After a compulsory purchase order
to build a primary school for the community was issued, the terraced Victorian
houses were knocked down. However, much to the dismay of the neighbourhood
and the estate, the school was never built.
Frozen in time
Caught up in years of debate and deliberation – and passed from one
bureaucratic organisation to the other – the land remained empty. A natural
gathering place at the heart of the community, it became the home of the local

MARYLEBONE SQUARE THE HISTORY
A new nobility
Half a mile south-west of Marylebone Square, you’ll find The Grazing Goat pub,
whose name forms an unlikely clue to the story of the district. This area was once
hundreds of acres of farmland making up the Portman Estate, first acquired by
Sir William Portman, Lord Chief Justice to Henry VIII, in 1532. To this day, much
of Central London’s most sought after real estate is owned by five aristocratic
Regent’s Park
families whose claims date back to a time when the land stretching beyond the
narrow, twisting streets of Tudor London was meadow and pasture.
Today, the story of Marylebone is still being told. In Marylebone Square,
there is a new chapter being added to the story of London. This tract of the
most treasured turf in the city has until now remained unclaimed. The site lies
between the Portman Estate to the west and the Howard de Walden Estate to Great Portland
Regent’s Street
the east. Marylebone Square captures the grandeur of its surroundings, while Park
maintaining the sensitive approach to stewardship characteristic of the area’s
famous landlords.

MARYLEBONE SQUARE THE HISTORY
A social hub
Over the years, the streets have played host to everything from unexpected
retreats to fashionable lodges. Nestled between Paddington Street and
Moxon Street was The Grotto, a popular curiosity exhibiting intricate
shell-work and a cold bath fed by a natural spring. To the east of the high
street was the Rose of Normandy pub, which had been famous since the
Stuart era for its bowling greens. In 1738, the landlord set up a pleasure
