F
irstly, thank you for all the fabulous feedback
we have received following our first edition
of
mlife
this spring. We are delighted to hear you
are enjoying your new Marylebone magazine.
In this issue, we look at what’s in store for
Christmas (page 23) and introduce you to the
personal shopper, Caroline Stanbury, who prides
herself on finding the perfect gifts for all those
special people in our lives (page 30).
Also, we interview the Michelin-star chef,
Giorgio Locatelli (page 32) and consider holiday
options for the winter ahead (pages 48-57).
As you would expect from Manors, the
magazine is packed with details of all the best
properties for sale or to rent in Marylebone.
There is always a huge demand for homes
in this area and we are regularly in contact with
wealthy buyers who are prepared to pay the best
prices for properties here.
If you would like a market appraisal of your
property, please get in touch with our team. You
will find the contact details on page 65.
See you next spring,
While every reasonable care has been taken throughout the production of this magazine, neither the publisher nor the
