London Marylebone And Regent’S Park

Marylebone’s ritzy residential feel and proximity to the West End means that, while there are plenty of accommodations, they tend to be beyond the budget of the average traveler. There are a number of attractive B&Bs, but don’t expect the deals you’ll find in Bloomsbury or Bayswater. Here, you’re paying to be within walking distance of Oxford Street, which makes up for the no-frills accommodations. The area’s student rooms are a good deal, though they’re often in the grittier parts of the neighborhood.
