I always used to enjoy ‘Marylebone spotting’ in TV dramas, especially Victorian and Edwardian ones. I recall it being used in the Jeremy Brett ‘Sherlock Holmes’ series quite a bit. I never realised that the pub in Aberdeen Place was originally built to serve the station. It’s a long walk from there!
Best wishes, Pete.

Thanks Pete. I was watched the recent ‘Paddington Bear’ film last night for the first time… and they used Marylebone station in that for an exterior shot of Paddington station!
