Why is it called Marylebone?
Bakerloo
Where the name comes from
From St Mary-burne, "the stream of St Mary": a hamlet on the Tyburn where a church of St Mary was built in 1400, with burne from the Anglo-Saxon burna, a small stream. The French-derived le was added in the 17th century. The station opened as Great Central and was renamed Marylebone in 1917.
Worth knowing: The popular story that the name comes from Marie la Bonne, "Mary the Good", has no support.
