Moxon Street is a short street within Marylebone Village, running parallel to and south of Marylebone High Street, within the Howard de Walden Estate. Until 1936 it was known as Paradise Street, a name derived from a former burial ground in the vicinity. The change of name was made to avoid confusion with other streets of the same name elsewhere in London.
The street is best known in the contemporary neighbourhood for its Marylebone Farmers Market, which takes place on Sundays and is one of the most established weekly markets of its kind in central London. The market draws producers from across southern England and has been a fixture of the local food culture for a number of years, reinforcing Marylebone's reputation for independent retail and quality food traders.
A significant recent addition is Marylebone Square, a mixed-use development by E8 Architecture completed in late 2023, which replaced the former Moxon Street car park. The scheme combines residential apartments with boutique retail units, restaurants and a community hall that provides a permanent home for the farmers market. The development has brought renewed pedestrian activity to a street that sits immediately behind the retail frontage of Marylebone High Street, reinforcing the close-knit character of Marylebone Village.
