Step into ritzy Marylebone’s colorful pub scene as we uncover stories from Sherlock Holmes and The Beatles to Chopin and Charles Babbage, plus a daring bank heist straight out of a detective novel. Along the way, we’ll explore historic pubs that have hosted everyone from spies to singalong piano nights, proving that Marylebone’s posh streets hide stories as lively as any London neighborhood.
