Westminster Magistrates' Court

The Yorkshire Stingo was a public house in Marylebone in the 18th to mid-20th century. Its name came about because it was customary for Yorkshiremen in London to gather at the pub and its adjoining pleasure gardens on the first three days of May each year. In May 1808 it was reported that over 20,000 people gathered there, drinking strong ale, playing football and other 'rustic Yorkshire sports'. The Stingo part of its name comes from a fashionable slang word of the 18th century for strong or old ale. The term is possibly derived from the sharp, or "stinging" flavour of a well-matured beer.The pub served as a significant landmark just outside Central London. Located on the south side of the Marylebone Road, it was a rural location when first built, before the construction of the New Road. A bowling green and pleasure gardens had been added in the 18th century. An admittance charge was made, redeemable with the waiters, as a method of preventing those with no money from enjoying the facilities. In 1786, the Committee for the Relief of the Black Poor used the Stingo as one of the centres for distributing alms.The pub had a connection with important developments in London’s infrastructure and transport. When the Paddington branch of the Grand Union Canal opened in July 1801, a procession led by the Buckinghamshire Band walked from Paddington Basin to the Yorkshire Stingo for dinner and a convivial evening. In 1829 George Shillibeer operated London's first omnibus service from the Stingo to the Bank of England. His name is commemorated in the nearby Shillibeer Place. In the 1830s the Yorkshire Stingo pleasure gardens attracted crowds of spectators to witness the ascent of hot air balloons, including balloonist Margaret Graham on 17 May 1837. Three months later, on 14 August, a balloon launched at the Stingo took part in a spectacle to have three hot air balloons visible in the skies above London at the same time. The other two balloons were launched from the Rosemary Branch, Hoxton (Margaret Graham) and the Vauxhall Gardens (Charles Green). The balloonist who took off from the Stingo was a Mr H Green, the brother of the Vauxhall balloonist. When the Stingo balloon had reached an altitude of 200 feet (61.0 m), Green dropped a cat in a basket attached to a small parachute which landed safely near Maida Hill.The pub (together with Shore Street Music Hall and Hampstead Music Hall), was the earliest place to use the term "music hall" for vaudeville and burlesque. The music hall at The Stingo opened on 24 August 1835. The venue, later known as the Apollo Saloon, was situated behind the pub. In December of the following year, the audience narrowly escaped serious injury following a gas explosion on stage.In 1847 the Health of Towns Commissioners located the vacant pleasure gardens and bowling site 'for erecting baths and washhouses for the labouring classes in Marylebone'. The public baths and washhouses opened in December 1849. The project cost £20,000 and at the time was the largest building of its kind in London. Its architect was Christopher Eales. The establishment contained 107 baths plus shower and vapour baths. There were also laundry facilities and two large swimming pools. All facilities were segregated for 'first and second class' users.Stingo Lane was a narrow thoroughfare leading from Marylebone Road to Crawford Street. The small streets which led off it were described by Marylebone historian F H Hallam as ‘a great pest-hole of vice in every shape.’ The area was cleared in 1872, and the street renamed Seymour Place as it was a continuation of the existing Seymour Place. By 1875 a police court had been built on part of the site.The Yorkshire Stingo Brewery occupied premises behind the pub. It originally obtained water for brewing from the deep well at Freshwater Place in nearby Homer Street. In 1909 the Brewery was acquired by the Church Army for £12,000, to be converted into workshops, a home for first-time offenders and a labour relief depot, as well as a chapel for religious services.After the Second World War the pub became a popular meeting place of London's top lawyers when London Sessions were temporarily held at the neighbouring Marylebone County Court while the Sessions in the city were being rebuilt due to war damage. The pub closed on 16 July 1964. Later that year the 150-year old building was demolished to make way for road widening for the Marylebone Flyover. There was once a toll bar near the Yorkshire Stingo. A grisly murder was reported there in 1808. The body of a passenger was discovered in a stage coach by the toll collector, said to have been 'weltering in his blood, with his head nearly severed from his body’.

Homer Row is a street in the Marylebone district of the City of Westminster, London, that runs form Old Marylebone Road in the north to the junction of Crawford Place and Crawford Street in the south. The street is one of those in the Portman Estate area with classical names, such as Cato Street, Homer Street, and Virgil Place. According to Gillian Bebbington, all four street names were inspired by Edward Homer who was a friend of John Simon Harcourt who owned the land on which the streets were built.

The Landmark London is a five-star hotel on Marylebone Road on the northern side of central London, England, in the City of Westminster. It was originally opened by the Great Central Railway, as the Hotel Great Central.

It reopened as a hotel in 1993.

Marylebone station ( (listen) MAR-li-bən) is a Central London railway terminus and connected London Underground station in the Marylebone area of the City of Westminster. On the National Rail network it is also known as London Marylebone and is the southern terminus of the Chiltern Main Line to Birmingham. An accompanying Underground station is on the Bakerloo line between Edgware Road and Baker Street in Transport for London's fare zone 1. The station opened on 15 March 1899 as the London terminus of the Great Central Main Line (GCML), the last major railway to open in Britain for 100 years, linking the capital to the cities of Leicester, Sheffield and Manchester. Marylebone was the last of London's main line termini to be built and is one of the smallest, opening with half of the platforms originally planned. There has been an interchange with the Bakerloo line since 1907, but not with any other lines. Traffic declined at Marylebone station from the mid-20th century, particularly after the GCML closed. By the 1980s, it was threatened with closure, but was reprieved because of commuter traffic on the London to Aylesbury Line (a remaining part of the GCML) and from High Wycombe. In 1993 the station found a new role as the terminus of the Chiltern Main Line. Following the privatisation of British Rail, the station was expanded with two additional platforms in 2006 and improved services to Birmingham Snow Hill. In 2015 services began between Marylebone and Oxford Parkway via a new chord connecting the main line to the Oxford to Bicester Line and an extension to Oxford following in 2016. As of 2020, it is the only main London terminus to host only diesel trains, as none of the National Rail lines into it are electrified. Marylebone is one of the squares on the British Monopoly board, and is popular for filming because of its relative quietness compared to other London termini.
