Christian Lock-Necrews, the Head of Knight Frank’s Marylebone office: “For a central location in the greatest city in the world, Marylebone still offers good value in the £1m+ category to British buyers and those from abroad.
"An eclectic community with a hugely popular destination high street and a recent offering of the highest quality product at 25% less than other PCL boroughs has altered the buyer perception of Marylebone and Fitzrovia.
"They are attracted to an area that retains its community feel but has world class shopping, access to London’s great parks and is in the heart of the West End.”
