Marylebone Station stands in a fashionable district of north London, to the west of Baker St.
The last major railway station to be built in London, Marylebone was built for the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire railway, later renamed the Great Central Railway (GCR). The train-shed and hotel date from 1899. The Great Central ran out of money before it reached the capital and the little terminus was never finished.
In its heyday Marylebone Station served the Midlands, Nottingham and Sheffield. Following the rationalization of the railways in the 1960s Marylebone lost its long distance services and since then the station had lower importance and reduced in size. It has retained its important commuter services to north-west London, Oxford, Aylesbury and Birmingham Snow Hill
