Marylebone has been home to its fair share of rogues, villains and
eccentrics, and their stories are told here. The authors also want
to remind the reader that alongside the glamour of Society, there
has also been hardship and squalor in the parish, as was
graphically illustrated in Charles Booth's poverty maps of London
in 1889. Over the past 10 years the Marylebone Journal has printed
historical essays on the people, places, and events that have
helped shape the character of the area. Some are commemorated with
a blue plaque, but many are not. This is not a check-list of the
grandees of Marylebone, though plenty appear in these pages. The
essays have been grouped into themes of: history, politicians and
warriors, culture and sport (from pop music and television to high
art), love and marriage (stories from romance to acrimonious
divorce), criminals, science and medicine, buildings and places,
and the mad bad and dangerous to know - those whose stories don't
fit a convenient box but are too good not to tell.
