Aybrook Street
Aybrook Street is a residential and light commercial street in the W1U district of Marylebone, running between Blandford Street to the north and Moxon Street to the south, with connections to St Vincent Street. It sits within the territory of the Howard de Walden Estate, which manages approximately 92 acres of Marylebone bounded broadly by Marylebone Road to the north, Wigmore Street to the south, Portland Place to the east, and Marylebone High Street to the west.
Documentary records from 1938 show a deed between the General Real Estates Investment and Trust Limited and the former Metropolitan Borough of St Marylebone concerning buildings at 33 to 45 Aybrook Street, including a gateway between numbers 40 and 41, indicating established residential and mixed-use development by that date. The street's fabric reflects the moderate Georgian and Victorian terraced character common to the interior streets of the Howard de Walden holding, sitting at a remove from the grander Georgian set-pieces of Cavendish Square to the east.
Aybrook Street is today perhaps best known as the location of the Marylebone Farmers Market, held every Sunday and drawing produce from farms across southern England. At its northern end, the development known as Marylebone Square at number 1 Aybrook Street, completed in recent years, added 54 lateral apartments to the street's eastern side. The Marylebone High Street lies a short walk to the west.
