Marylebone High Street is one of my favourite London high streets. Located between Baker Street and Oxford Street it is centrally located but just enough off the beaten path that it is not crowded with tourists. The street is full of clothing stores, restaurants, speciality shops, and one of London's best bookstores. Marylebone is one of my go-to areas to take visiting family and friends. The variety of restaurants and shops makes for a lovely day out. Just off the high street is one of my favourite museums as well. The Wallace Collections is often passed over for some of the more famous museums in London, but I would highly recommend going. It is quite small but houses a lovely collection of art, furniture, trinkets, weapons, armor, and the loveliest pink cafe. Here is the full round up of all Marylebone High Street has to offer.
Restaurants
Orrery Epicure - This little cafe is perfect for a delicious lunch or afternoon treat. The have great salads, quiche, sandwiches, and desserts.
Fishers- If you are looking to eat schnitzels and sausages with the ambiance of 1920's Vienna, then this is the place for you. The food is traditional Viennese and does not disappoint. Be sure to get a side of spätzle.
Natural Kitchen- Part deli, part restaurant, Natural Kitchen is great if you are looking for a quick pick me up. I usually stop in for a smoothie.
Pierre Marcolini- If you are looking for an Belgian alternative to the French macaroon, Pierre Marcolini has the most delicious macroons on offer. The flavours are en point and I have a good friends who even prefer the macaroons here over Laduree. If macaroons aren't your thing don't worry, there are plenty of other patisserie treats available. There is something to suit every sweet craving.
