Another one coerced into apologising for saying it as it is (apart from his population figures which were wrong). |  |

I was rather interested in visiting Marylebone, for a relatively small area there are a lot of places of interest to visit within walking distance e.g. Madame Tussauds, John Lennon's/Jimmy Hendrix's residence, Joe Strummers former flat, Sex Pistols Malcolm McClaren's/Steve Jones/Paul Cooks former flat. Monopoly game landmark Marylebone Station, Baker Street of Gerry Raffety song and Sherlock Holmes fame etc.
I am however put off by the pick-pocket, robbery and knife crime reputation, if I go it'll be a case of being 'switched on' enough to conceal anything of value. And never a case of speaking on a pavement whilst using a mobile phone in full sight, when too close to a road to become an easy target for a passing e-bike or scooter thief.
I wish you well! [Post edited 19 Feb 18:21]

You'll be fine ...
Nice to visit for a short break as there's always things to do and see but living there is a different kettle of fish entirely.
My sister moved there in the early 80s, I moved in the 90s and last worked there in 2020.
I think I saw and enjoyed the best of it but by 2004 I was done living in it.
I'd go back there to work if I had to and it's likely I will at some point, but not 5 days a week - it would have to be hybrid - just dealing with the chaos, sheer volume of people and of course having one eye constantly looking for something /someone kicking off.
It drains you day in and day out...
I've variously described it as a "termite colony with luggage", an "open air lunatic asylum" or "the Tower of Babel on steroids..." 
It's not an age thing either because I hear a lot from people a lot younger than me who feel the same. |  |

I used to work in Bond Street for a while and the after work pub crawl from there up through Marylebone to Baker St was wonderful on a summer's evening...
Sad to see The Pontefract Castle on that route where we stopped off on our way to Wembley in 2011 has closed down. Another old haunt gone... | |
