Marylebone has a long history of public houses dating back to its development from village to affluent, inner city neighbourhood. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the area developed into a fashionable district, highly desired by London’s societal luminaries, as it started to become absorbed into the city of London. The arrival of the railways, thanks to the Industrial Revolution, meant that the area experienced an influx of people from differing social classes, which led to great diversity in the kinds of pubs present in the neighbourhood.
