"The first Scotch egg was not Scotch at all! It was invented in London at Fortnum and Mason and was inspired by North Indian cuisine consisting of hard-boiled egg surrounded by a spicy shell of ground lamb."

A rich vein of restaurants and cafes...I love walking down Charlotte Street without a reservation and dropping in to any place that takes my fancy...

James Blackler

With so many upmarket designers and eateries along Marylebone High Street, you're spoilt for choice!

Tania Smith

With all the shops and restaurants, sometimes you forget that there are some beautiful residential properties around Charlotte Street.
