Today I want to bring you my guide to the best Marylebone shops. This area is packed with everything from bookshops to clothing stores, and it’s one of the best places for shopping in London.
Marylebone, London
Since I moved to the UK I’ve made a point of getting around to lots of different London neighborhoods. I’ve explored the city from Notting Hill to Muswell Hill, Regent’s Park to Richmond.
I’ve meandered through Barnes Common and Clapham Common and I’ve shopped on Hampstead High Street and the King’s Road.
In all my exploring, there’s one place I continually head back to: Marylebone. From the beautiful shops on Marylebone High Street to the chic boutiques in St Christopher’s Place, the Marylebone shops are hard to beat.
Don’t get me wrong; Hampstead is still my favorite London neighborhood. But. Sometimes I think that if I were ever forced to choose another place in London, Marylebone would be it.
Marylebone Shops
So today I want to share my favorite Marylebone shops with you. From food to fashion, furniture to books, this area has all the bases covered.
Cheese Shops in Marylebone
On Sunday I headed down to Marylebone High Street with a friend.
We showed up without a plan, but quickly found ourselves tucked into a rustic table at La Fromagerie, a wonderful cheese shop on Moxon Street with an excellent cafe.
This place has always been one of my favorite Marylebone shops. Not only does it tempt my inner food lover every time I’m in the area, but it also has some of the highest quality cheese and produce in London.
On this occasion, my friend and I warmed up with hot chocolate and a bowl of soup, then browsed the grocery section and cheese room for some treats to take home.
Marylebone Furniture Shops
Afterwards, we continued down the high street, admiring the clothing boutiques, bookshops, and restaurants on our way to another of my favorite Marylebone shops: the Conran Shop.
Shopping at the Conran Shop is one of the most exciting things to do in London for design lovers.
Set in a former stable building at the northern end of Marylebone High Street, this shop is known for its range of classic designs and one-of-a-kind pieces.
As soon as I walked in, I drooled over Breuer chairs, Eames chairs, and Rietveld chairs. And just about everyone else’s chairs. I wanted to take everything home to decorate my flat.
Daunt Books in Marylebone
From there we hit up my favorite of all Marylebone shops, Daunt Books. This is one of the most famous bookshops in London, and for good reason.
High glass ceilings give the place the feel of a Victorian train station, and the travel section is intermixed with the rest of the books such that one can take a trip around the world without ever leaving the store.
There are smaller versions of Daunt Books in Belsize Park and South End Green, but the one on Marylebone High Street is a little piece of bookish girls’ heaven.
Clothing Shops
When it comes to clothing, there are so many options for Marylebone shops it’s hard to know where to start. From staples like Zadig & Voltaire and Theory to classic places like FRAME and French favorites like Sessun and Sezane, there’s no shortage of good choices.
You can also find shops selling everything from heels to boots and more. If you’ve seen my London packing list for summer and my tips for how to pack with just a carry-on, you’ll know how much I love flats.
If you prefer making clothes to buying them, V V Rouleaux is just the place. This modern haberdashery sells ribbons and other trimmings, and even offers workshops. I did one at their shop in Bath once and had a great time.
Chocolate Shops in Marylebone
Rounding out my list is one of the most delicious Marylebone shops. Pierre Marcolini is a famous name in Belgian chocolate. His shop in the Grand Sablon in Brussels was one of my favorite places in the city when I lived there.
And now that I live here, his shop on Marylebone High Street is one of my go-to places when I’m in need of a chocolate fix. From heart-shaped chocolates to macarons, there’s always something to entice me in.
Best Marylebone Shops
I hope you’ve enjoyed reading about these amazing Marylebone shops. If you go, make sure to explore the rest of the neighborhood, too.
With great restaurants, pretty parks, and beautiful streets, one might almost call Marylebone the perfect London neighborhood. If only Hampstead didn’t exist.
