Marylebone is a posh neighbourhood south of Regent's Park. There are a lot of touristy things to do here, but places like Madam Tussauds are hardly worth the entrance fee. There are some really good restaurants in the area, but they're not very cheap.
Shopping:
- On Baker Street, there is The Beatles store, where you can buy everything in The Beatles theme. Lunch boxes, posters, records, tea kettles, mugs and t-shirts. Worth a visit for all the Beatles fans.
Museums:
- On Baker Street there is obviously a Sherlock Holmes museum. A replica of his home. This is for all the Sherlock fans out there.
Eating:
- Nagoya is a terrific Japanese restaurant serving delicious sushi and hot foods as well. Not very cheap but you pay for high quality and delicious food.
- Roti Chai is fairly cheap compared to other places in this area. They serve delicious Indian street food. You can add a few different small meals with a price of a main, which is great if you want to experience and have different things.
Parks:
- North of Marylebone is Regent's Park. Highly organised gardens, ponds and football fields. This is one of the nicest parks in London.

Drinking and entertainment:
- Marylebone really isn't the best place to find nice pubs, let alone bars with good music. 229 is a music venue underground, which is surprisingly cozy for this area. They even have quite good bands performing from time to time. The ticket prices are also quite affordable.
- The Phoenix is a great pub/club. Downstairs is reserved for dancing and there's usually a small entrance fee. They host great soul and rockabilly dance nights.
Cinema:
- Although it's a chain cinema, it's a small chain cinema with interesting selection of films. Everyman cinema is cheaper than your average Odeon and you sometimes get great independent films here. There's also a small café/bar for snacks and drinks.
