Why Marylebone is a Great Place to Work and Play

Marylebone may be tucked away towards the north of London’s West End, but that doesn’t mean it lacks any of the desirability of postcodes in areas such as Mayfair or Soho. Despite its relatively central location, serviced offices in Marylebone benefit from the area’s quaint, almost village feel, while the plethora of pubs, shops and restaurants nearby are a powerful employee attraction and retention tool, while also impressing clients.

Marylebone is probably best known for its medical district, with more than 2,000 clinical professionals working on Harley Street alone. With Oxford Street to the south, Edgware Road to the west and Great Portland Street to the east, Marylebone has also become an attractive proposition for business owners.

Offices in Marylebone are well connected not only to the rest of London but also to other major English cities, such as Birmingham and Oxford, thanks to the central railway terminus at Marylebone Station. In the vicinity of Marylebone, commuters can make their way to nearby stations like Baker Street, Bond Street, Marble Arch and Edgware Road, all in under 15 minutes' walk from a central point.

Things To Do In Marylebone

These days, employees want more from working in the office. If they’re going to make the commute, they want nearby shops, pubs and restaurants where they can socialise and eat to form a better work-life balance. One of the main reasons serviced offices in Marylebone are so popular among businesses in all sorts of sectors is the immediate access they have to these desirable amenities.

Church Street Market

Church Street Market delivers an authentic London street market experience, with Marylebone’s renowned antique district at one end, and traditional fruit, veg and fish stalls at the other. In between, you can grab lunch on the go from the varied hot food stands or shop for vintage clothing, art and antiques.

Marylebone Village

This leafy little enclave, tucked away in Marylebone, is a great place to shop and dine away from the hustle and bustle of Central London. It’s filled with independent shops, delicious restaurants and artisan coffee shops, making it the perfect spot for a well-earned break from the office.

Best for team building

Marylebone offices are close to a host of exciting attractions to welcome new starters or reward your team for a job well done.

Swingers

Nothing says “well done team, you’ve done a cracking job” quite like street food, fun drinks and a crazy golf course that’s an ode to the English Riviera. The Swingers West End course in Marylebone features a helter-skelter, big wheel, beach huts and bandstands. Straw boaters and striped blazers are optional.

Sixes Social Cricket

Ever fancied yourself as a first-class opening batsman, or perhaps a big-hitting middle-order whacker? Well now’s your chance to prove it. Sixes Social Cricket combines a mouthwatering British BBQ-themed menu with a VR cricket experience and batting nets you can hire by the hour.

Best for out-of-office meetings

Serviced offices in Marylebone typically offer bookable meeting rooms for small and large groups but, with so much on your doorstep, you’d be forgiven for wanting to take the occasional meeting outside. And with several prestigious venues nearby, it’s a sure way to impress your clients.

Chiltern Firehouse

Chiltern Firehouse is possibly the most exclusive place to dine in Marylebone. The dining room of the 26-suite hotel serves upscale American treats in the former garage of the Marylebone Fire Station. This world-famous spot is a celebrity favourite, so keep a lookout for some familiar faces.

Nobu London Portman Square

Marylebone’s Portman Square has become increasingly hip over the last few years and the recent arrival of the Nobu London Portman Square is the icing on the cake — although it’s not the cakes that draw the crowds here. Instead, it’s the world-renowned Peruvian-influenced Japanese fare that’ll have you and your clients purring.

Best for wellbeing

Post-pandemic working life is about more than sitting at a desk for 10 hours straight. Modern employees want workspaces where their health, wellbeing and happiness are prioritised — where they can momentarily get away from the strains of office life and find some balance. These attractions close to Marylebone offices can help you do just that.

Hyde Park

Less than a mile from central Marylebone, Hyde Park has more than 350 acres of gardens and green spaces to explore. Perfect for a walking meeting or lunchtime jog, Hyde Park also offers a world-class calendar of events and concerts, a Serpentine for open water swimming and plenty of quiet spaces to relax and unwind.

Marylebone gyms

Third Space Marylebone is a sanctuary in the heart of London with an 18-metre pool, saunas, steam room, the latest gym facilities and a good range of group training classes. Club 51 is an altogether more boutique experience, offering personal training programmes to help you reach specific fitness goals, as well as regular one-to-one training.
