Old Marylebone walk

Saturday, I took a guided walk of Marylebone, very posh district, Madonna lives there. It was really interesting, but freezing!!! It gets dark here starting at four and the walk ended at 4:30, so it was pretty chilly.


Oriental House, once an aristocratic home, later turned into the gentlemans' club for the East India Company
Christmas lights at St. Christopher's Place
House where Martin van Buren lived while the U.S. ambassador
The Wallace Collection, once the townhome of the Marquesses of Hertford
Roman Catholic Church where Vivien Leigh married her first husband
House of Octavia Hill, founder of the National Trust
Marylebone Parish Church, where Robert and Elizabeth Barrett Browning were married
Regent's Park, only was there briefly as it was getting dark and cold. The time in the photo is a little after four.
