Marylebone Road

Marylebone Road (/ˈmɑːrlɪbən/ ⓘ MAR-li-bən) is an important thoroughfare in central London, within the City of Westminster.

The name Marylebone originates from a church, called "St Mary Le Bon", that was built on the bank of a small stream or "bourne" called the tybourne, in an area named after the stream Tyburn.

The church and the surrounding area later became known as St Mary at the bourne, which over time became shortened to its present form Marylebone.

[3] One of London's principal tourist attractions lies on Marylebone Road - Madame Tussauds.

It is also the location of the Royal Academy of Music and the former "Great Central Hotel", now renamed The Landmark London.
