Points forts
Marylebone is defined by its spectacular garden squares, each with its own character and history. On this self-guided audio tour of the elegant London district, you’ll explore the graceful Georgian and Regency architecture that frames these green havens. You’ll also hear fascinating stories about the aristocrats and artists who’ve called these squares home over the centuries. The tour starts at the Victorian-era Coach Makers’ Arms Pub on Marylebone Lane. You’ll stroll through Manchester Square with its grand mansions, and into Portman Square with its generous gardens. Along the way, you’ll learn how these squares were developed as speculative ventures by wealthy landowners like William Portman, transforming what was once a rural village into one of London’s most desirable residential areas. You’ll come across embassies, historic churches, and the iconic locations where cultural giants once lived. The tour ends at Marylebone Railway Station.

About Londres
Londres réunit cérémonial royal, musées de rang mondial et monuments au bord de l'eau, avec des quartiers, des marchés et des parcs à explorer à pied.
La Tamise relie la ville d'un bout à l'autre. Sur ses rives se dressent le Parlement et Big Ben, la Tour de Londres et ses joyaux de la Couronne, Tower Bridge et la longue promenade de la South Bank, qui passe devant le London Eye, le Globe de Shakespeare et la Tate Modern. La cathédrale Saint-Paul et l'abbaye de Westminster ancrent la silhouette ancienne de la ville, tandis que les tours de verre se pressent dans le quartier financier.
Top-ranked sights in Londres: St. Paul's Cathedral, Stonehenge, Tower of London.
