Overview
London’s Marylebone district is defined by its exquisite mews – those cobbled lanes that thread through the West End like little oases of calm in the hectic city. On this self-guided audio walking tour, you’ll discover the historic enclaves that began as stables for grand houses, later became workshops and garages, and now rank among London’s most desirable residences. The tour starts outside the Langham Hotel near BBC Broadcasting House. You’ll weave through the cobblestone pathways of Duchess Mews, where the iconic 1960s TV show The Avengers was filmed. As you stroll through these quiet lanes, you’ll find out how they’ve witnessed extraordinary moments in London’s history. You’ll also discover how World War II bombing transformed many of these historic spaces. The tour ends at the imposing red-brick mansion block of Bryanston Court, where a royal scandal unfolded behind elegant façades.
