Would somebody (preferable someone who lives there) give a pronunciation guide for Marylebone please? I just googled and got a variety of opinions: Mar-le-bone, Mahr-leh-bahn, Mar-lee-bone, Marrybun, maribun, Marley-bone.... I'm more confused than ever.  ;) Fabiform 18:59, 21 Jan 2004 (UTC)

'Marry-lubun (stress on first syllable). Secretlondon 19:01, Jan 21, 2004 (UTC)

Like MARRY-lubun (rhymes with Larry), MAR-ee-lubun (rhymes with Larry)? Perhaps you could write it in SAMPA? Fabiform 21:12, 21 Jan 2004 (UTC)

I'd use ["m{r\lU%b@n] (SAMPA), [ˈmæɹlʊˌbən] (IPA) with the r-sound almost silent but lengthening the preceding vowel. (Although I do live south of the river, so...)

[edit] London borough

The term in the article the Marylebone is a London borough is confusing. It is not one of the 33 electoral London Boroughs (is it in Camden?)

The Metropolitan Borough of St Marylebone existed until 1965 in the county of London. It is now in the City of Westminster--Henrygb 22:43, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Lords

The St John's Wood article also lays claim to Lord's Cricket Ground; surely it isn't in both areas? Grant65 (Talk) 14:52, Feb 27, 2005 (UTC)

Isn't lord's actually closer to Lisson Grove then St John's Wood? Simply south 10:54, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
