It has its own railway station and includes the tube stations of Edgware Road and Baker Street.<\/p>\n<p>To me it feels like a village in the middle of the capital city \u2013 it has charming architecture, some very old churches and a lovely high street that\u2019s packed with independent shops. However, it\u2019s also really central and if you\u2019re living here you\u2019ll be able to walk to many iconic locations like Oxford Street and Hyde Park. The bus network in the area is vast so you\u2019ll have access to the whole city by quick and cheap public transport.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also worth enjoying the charm and amenities of the neighbourhood especially if this is where you have your <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/britanniastudents.com\/student-housing-london\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">student housing. London<\/a><\/strong> offers so many different living experiences, and Marylebone has got to be one of the best, in my opinion.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some of the wonderful things on the doorstep of Nutford House.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Shopping<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Shopping experiences range from high end to artisan to popular.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Oxford Street<\/strong> \u2013 You\u2019ll be a few minutes\u2019 walk from Selfridges where you can browse designer clothes and admire the world famous Food Hall.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Marylebone High Street<\/strong> \u2013 This is a charming high street that includes artisan and independent shops. Don\u2019t forget to visit Daunt Books, a bookshop that has arranged its collection according to country.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Farmers\u2019 Market<\/strong> \u2013 This market has more than 40 stalls selling seasonal fruit and vegetables as well as charcuterie, cheeses and other delicacies. It runs every Sunday from 10am to 2pm.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Art &amp; Culture<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you are looking for cultural experiences there are plenty available to you in the area around your student housing. London\u2019s most famous resident Sherlock Holmes is honoured in a museum nearby, there is a renowned art gallery and you can enjoy concerts and films locally.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The Sherlock Holmes Museum<\/strong> \u2013 Open every day from 9.30am to 6pm. There is a small admission charge. For details <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sherlock-holmes.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">see the website<\/a><\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wigmore Hall<\/strong> \u2013 This <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/wigmore-hall.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">concert hall<\/a><\/strong> runs a programme of classical music, and one of my favourite experiences is the Sunday morning concert which includes a glass of sherry with your ticket. It\u2019s so English and it doesn\u2019t cost too much either!<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Wallace Collection<\/strong> \u2013 The Georgian house is almost as lovely as the collection of French paintings and objects from the eighteenth century. Entry is free and there is a great restaurant on site.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Green Spaces<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Even though this area is very central and close to some of the busiest parts of the capital, you will still be able to enjoy some amazing green spaces just a few blocks away from your student housing. London somehow manages to preserve some stunning parks right in the heart of the vibrant hustle and bustle.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Regents Park &amp; Zoo<\/strong> \u2013 This park is particularly delightful in the summer months due to its huge floral displays and beautiful trees. You can even catch a performance at the Open Air Theatre in the long summer evenings.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hyde Park<\/strong> \u2013 At the Marble Arch end you\u2019ll find Hyde Park, a huge green space where you can rent bikes, visit the Princess Diana Memorial Fountain, hire a rowboat or just enjoy a picnic in the gardens.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you\u2019re planning to study here in the summer then Marylebone is one of the top locations for accommodation. It will give you a taste of London life at its most charming.<\/p>\n<p><em>Our team at Britannia Student Services understands that the success of your study abroad experience depends largely on your student housing. London offers a wide range of accommodation options, and we can guide you to choose the one that suits you best. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/britanniastudents.com\/book-now\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Get in touch<\/a><\/strong> to start your journey.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\t\t\t\tStaying in Nutford House this summer?
