We are also uniquely situated on one of Londons most historic sites. This area was settled in Roman times and coner of Wigmore Street and Marylobone lane bestrode the old River Tyburn. The river flows south from Hampstead through Marylebone and crosses Oxford Street near the bottom of Marylebone Lane, on it’s way down to the Thames. At the point where the river crosses Oxford Street was the village of Tyburn notorious from the 14th to 17thcentury for it’s connection with gallows.Boswell and Dr. Johnson would have visited this area as we know from their writing. Many infamous heads have rolled at these ga;;pws including highwaymen, common miscreants and thieves, courtiers and clergy.
