Registered Tour Guide Rosalind Vincent from Wide Eyed London will host a walking tour that will explore the urban village’s rich history and heritage, showcase Instagram-worthy spots, and treat you to special offers and refreshments from some of the village’s flagship stores and cafes.
The tour begins at the newly installed Marylebone Village Elm Leaf installation on Marylebone Lane. The installation is inspired by the oldest surviving elm tree in London, located on Marylebone High Street. It survived World War II and the Elm tree disease in the 1970s. The installation has been specially designed to feature a green Elm leaf embossed with ‘Marylebone Village’ in gold to symbolise the area’s rich history linked to the Elm tree.
Continuing down Marylebone Lane and Marylebone High Street, visitors will walk amongst a vibrant stretch of shops, acclaimed restaurants and cosy cafes – with quieter roads flowing through it. Moxon Street is a haven for food lovers, Marylebone Lane has a meandering run of small independent boutiques, and New Cavendish Street is home to a mix of specialist retailers.
The tour finishes with the famous elm tree on Marylebone High Street, where walkers can admire it in its full glory and learn more about its eventful history.
