Baker Street

Baker Street sits between Marylebone and Regent’s Park, and prices with the former. NW1 and W1, where Marylebone Road crosses.

Where it is

Baker Street station carries the Jubilee, Bakerloo, Circle, Metropolitan and Hammersmith and City lines, which is one of the better interchanges in London. Marylebone is immediately south and Regent’s Park north.

What is here

Genuine incall in the mansion blocks along and behind Baker Street, plus hotel outcall towards Marylebone Road. The transport is the real argument: from here you reach most of central London inside fifteen minutes.

What it costs

In the Marylebone band, a clear step below Mayfair for an address that is just as workable.

Worth knowing before you ring

Quiet after the offices empty, and residential enough that arrivals are unremarkable. A sensible base if you are staying north of Oxford Street.

What the bookings look like

A weekday area shaped by the offices along Marylebone Road, with Tuesday to Thursday the busiest evenings. Weekends are noticeably quieter, which can work in your favour if you are booking one.

Who works here

A settled roster in mansion block flats, overlapping heavily with Marylebone immediately south. In practice the two areas share companions, so ask about both.

Why book here

The interchange is the reason to book here. If you are moving around London during the evening rather than staying put, nowhere else central is as well connected.

What the address is worth

From around £250, in the Marylebone band. For a station with five lines through it, that is among the most useful pounds you can spend in central London.
