This is London Marylebone, the terminus of the Birmingham Snow Hill to London Marylebone Chiltern line in London. This is the Port Cochere. The area outside the station where the taxi's wait to pick up passengers. It was restored, and was re-opened in 1993 by Sir Bob Reid. Took these from outside the Marks & Spencer food shop. Took these before we went to London Zoo. Marylebone Station is Grade II listed. Railway terminus. 1899. H. W .Braddock for Fox Engineers. Flemish Renaissance style. Red brick with buff terracotta dressing, slate roof. For the most part two-storeyed but with a raised central section above the arcaded passenger entrance. Asymmetrical composition; canted block at west end with three bay block behind in Harewood Avenue return. Melcombe Place front characterised by dormers, gables, pyramidal turrets on square towers either side of central block. Round-arched windows on ground floor, straight-headed elsewhere, all with original joinery. Main tripartite entrance at east end faced with terracotta.

At the west end of the concourse, the Victoria and Albert pub with two bars: dark wood panelling, original curved bars and bar shelving, broad ornate plasterwork frieze, fireplace. Beyond the concourse, three train sheds: one spans 40 ft, the other two span 50ft. They are connected by a roof of five spans running transversely across the concourse.
