The GM&T building at Regent’s Place is part of the Triton
Square development, a vibrant new business hub near
St Pancras International station and just north of the West
End. The London office is based a few minutes’ walk from
Regent’s Park, a favourite green space for Londoners and
part of the Prince Regent’s transformation of 18th century
London into a world leader in fashion and culture.
This guide contains everything that visitors to GM&T’s
London office need to find their way around London
and make the most of their free time. It contains inside
knowledge from Londoners that is often missing from
regular guidebooks. Even those who have visited London
many times before will find something that they didn’t
know before in the GM&T London Guide.
Read on to find out more about GM&T in London.

Getting into london
There are many ways to get to
London, the most common being
by air or by train from Continental
Europe. Taxis can be the easiest
form of transport at certain times,
but often the tube (London
Underground) is faster due to
congestion at peak times and
intermittently throughout the day.
From Heathrow Airport
Heathrow Express trains depart every 15
minutes to and from London Paddington
train station and London Heathrow airport
taking about 15 minutes (21 minutes from
Terminal 5). To get to Regent’s Place from
Paddington take a taxi from the rank on
the Platform 1 side of the station, or take
the Circle or Hammersmith & City line tube
train to Great Portland Street.
Approx journey time: 30 minutes
(36 minutes to/from Terminal 5)
Service: approx 05:00-23.45 daily
www.heathrowexpress.com
www.heathrowairport.com
Eurostar trains from Continental Europe
arrive at St Pancras International station,
a 20 minute walk from the GM&T office.
The station itself and the new King’s Cross
station concourse next door is well worth a
visit. There is a wide choice of places to eat,
a Champagne bar and the station’s
renovated Booking Office Bar.
www.eurostar.com
London Underground (tube) trains reach
central London in around 30 minutes.
To reach the GM&T office, jump on any
London-bound Piccadilly line tube train at
Heathrow, change at Green Park and take
the Victoria line tube to Warren Street.
Approx journey time: 1 hour
Service: 05:30-23:45 daily
www.tfl.gov.uk/tube
From Gatwick Airport
Gatwick Express trains leave every 15
minutes at peak times to London Victoria
train station, taking about 30 minutes.
To reach the GM&T office, take the Victoria
line tube directly to Warren Street station,
or take the Circle or District line tube to
Great Portland Street station, which is
opposite the London office.
Approx journey time: 1 hour
Service: 04:30-00:30 daily

yellow TAXI light is on, the taxi should stop
for you.

GM&T London Guide 09
local history
Regent’s Park, next to the GM&T
office, is on land that has belonged
to the Crown since it was seized by
King Henry VIII in 1536. The King
turned the area into an enclosed
hunting ground, which he called
Mary-le-Bone Park.
Regency flair
Towards the end of the 18th century, the
Prince Regent decided to turn Henry VIII’s
parklands into a fashionable suburb for the
rich. He employed his favourite architect,
John Nash, to plan a series of countryhouse style residences. The plan included a
grand house in the centre for the Prince
himself. This part of the scheme never
happened, but the Nash terraces around
the park and south of Marylebone Road
shows what the Prince had in mind.
The area between Oxford Street and
Euston Road, which becomes Marylebone
Road travelling west, is full of examples of
the Prince Regent’s architectural projects.
Portland Place, for example, is one of the
widest residential streets in London.
10 GM&T London Guide
Meanwhile Marylebone Road, which turns
into Euston Road as you travel east in front
of the GM&T office, was part of the Nash
plan, although it is less attractive now. It
became London’s first bypass in 1757, to
reduce traffic congestion in the city.
Take any route west from Portland Place to
Marylebone High Street to see examples of
grand residences (many of them now
private clinics) with mews houses behind
the main street. The mews were built as
stables but have now been developed
into homes.
Wonders in wax
Madame Tussauds on Marylebone Road,
one of London’s top tourist attractions,
arrived in London as a touring exhibition
of waxworks in 1802 and set up on Baker
Street in 1835 until it moved to its present
site in 1884.
Madame Marie Tussaud learned to make
wax models as a teenager in France, then
worked for the royal family at Versailles and
lived through the French revolution.
She based her first exhibition on gruesome
relics of the revolution and called her
exhibit the Chamber of Horrors.
Today, anyone who is anyone in
sport, politics or entertainment is
commemorated by an extremely lifelike
model in Madame Tussauds. All the British
Royal Family are there, and the Queen’s
Diamond Jubilee in 2012 was marked with
a new model of Her Majesty.
Rock’n’Roll weddings
Marylebone Town Hall on Marylebone
Road is a popular venue for celebrity
weddings. Sir Paul McCartney married two
of his three wives (Linda Eastman and
Nancy Shevell) there, while fellow Beatle
Ringo Starr married Barbara Bach. Other
celebrity weddings include Antonio
Banderas to Melanie Griffith, and Liam
Gallagher of Oasis to Patsy Kensit. John
Lennon and Yoko Ono did not get married
here, but their first home together was in
Marylebone.
The Victorian poets Robert Browning and
Elizabeth Barrett married in secret at
Marylebone Church in 1846 because
Elizabeth’s father disapproved of the
match. They then escaped to Italy in what
was considered a scandal. The Barretts’
former home at 50 Wimpole Street, is now
part of the National Heart Hospital.
Did you know?
Sherlock Holmes, the famous fictional
detective and main character of Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle’s stories, lived at 221B Baker
Street. But when the stories were written,
between 1887 and 1927, the numbers in
Baker Street did not go as high as 221B and
today the Sherlock Holmes Museum is
actually between numbers 237 and 241.
There, you can see Holmes’ Victorian study
just as he left it!
GM&T London Guide 11
Eating
Londoners take their food
seriously and you can try every
kind of international cuisine in
this city. There is a move
towards more casual dining with
good quality street food offered
at gourmet and craft markets.
The latest trend is for pop-up
restaurants, operating for just a
month, or only at weekends,
in unusual venues.
Keen cooks also
offer informal
supper clubs in
their homes:
you’ll find
details on the
internet. And
here’s where else
to find great food
near the office.
12 GM&T London Guide
Fitzrovia
South of Euston Road, Whitfield Street and
the up-and-coming Warren Street offer lots
of quick lunch options including Japanese,
Brazilian and Sardinian. Fitzroy Square or
Regent’s Park are good picnic spots in the
summer. Charlotte Street is a centre for
creative and media agencies with a wide
choice of restaurants for business lunches.
Choices include classic French bistros as
well as Thai, Japanese and modern British
options. Great Portland Street has a wide
choice of restaurants which are generally
cheaper than Charlotte Street.
Drummond Street
Just east of Euston station, Drummond
Street is a centre for Southern Indian
vegetarian cuisine. Most restaurants serve
lunchtime buffets on weekdays. It’s lighter
than most Indian food in the UK with a
good selection of salads, fresh chutneys
and yogurt-based sauces.

Getting around LONDON
Getting around London is easy
when you know how. Using the
Transport for London website
www.tfl.gov.uk can help you plan
your journeys around London.
Oyster cards
The Oyster card is a plastic smartcard to

transport. It is the cheapest way to pay for
most single journeys in London. They can
save time in queues or looking for the
correct change for the ticket machines.
20 GM&T London Guide
Taxis
Black taxi cabs can be hailed in the street
or picked up at a taxi rank. It is usually very
easy to get a taxi outside the GM&T office,
but the nearest black cab rank is at Euston
station. Private taxis (minicabs) must be
booked in advance. It is best to use a
recommended licensed minicab firm.
There is a list of major London licensed
minicab firms on www.tfl.gov.uk
The card can be purchased from most tube
and railway stations and is also available at
Oyster Ticket Stops (in newsagents, petrol
stations and some other small shops).
For those who mainly want to use buses,
bus and tram passes are cheaper than
Travelcards. They can also be added to the
Oyster card.
The Oyster card can be topped up with
pay-as-you-go credit or Travelcard Visitor
Oyster cards already topped up with
credit are sold at the Gatwick Express
and Stansted Express ticket offices and
on board Eurostar trains.
