Marylebone: the village loop
Two-and-a-half kilometres of pretending you live in the nicest pocket of central London. Walked and written by the editor. https://walkwalk.org/london/walks/marylebone-village-loop

1. Daunt Books
The Edwardian travel bookshop. Enter via the side passage, pretend you have all afternoon, leave with a guidebook for somewhere you're not going.

2. Marylebone High Street
A five-minute stretch where every shop is nice and nothing is a chain. Yes, it's expensive. Yes, it's worth walking.

3. Paddington Street Gardens
A pocket park in a former burial ground. Go for the plane trees and the bench that isn't broken.

4. Chiltern Street
Ten minutes of shop-windows-as-fiction. Cadenhead's whisky, the Monocle shop, the Chiltern Firehouse if you're feeling architectural.

5. Marylebone High Street, south end
End by looping back past the old parish church at the bottom. Then either tea at Pret like a civilian or oyster happy hour at Fischer's like a rogue.
