About this Event

In May 1668 Pepys wrote in his diary that he went ‘abroad to Marrowbone’ as he called it then a coach ride from the City.

Although Marylebone has changed just a bit in the intervening centuries there are still remnants of the past to be found which remind us of its rich history.

We will be reminded of the shell grotto in modern day Grotto Passage and then walk along alleyways which once housed dreadful slums towards a street formerly known as Burial Ground Passage. The park nearby was once the burial ground.

We will also see monuments to some of its illustrious residents and pass pubs which have stories of their own.

The meeting place is in the grounds of St Marylebone Parish Church, Marylebone High Street. The grounds are directly opposite The Conran Shop.

The nearest tube stations are Baker Street and Regent's Park.

The walk finishes close to Bond Street tube.
