Marylebone, or St Marylebone, is an area of central London, originally part of the Metropolitan Borough of St Marylebone, but since 1965 part of the City of Westminster. It is a very affluent area, and includes institutions such as Broadcasting House (the BBC headquarters) and major department stores such as Selfridges on the north side of Oxford Street.
The former Metropolitan Borough of St Marylebone included what is now regarded as Marylebone, plus Regents Park, St John's Wood, Lisson Grove, and part of Fitzrovia.
