Marylebone Road ( eng. Marylebone Road ) - an important automotive street in central London , in Westminster County. It extends east to west from Euston Road on Regent’s Park to Westway in Paddington . The street has three rows in each direction, is part of the London inner ring road, and also forms part of the boundary of the area within which the London transport charge is made. Besides the fact that Marylebone Road forms part of the ring road and joins the A40 highway (and therefore the M40 highway ) in a westerly direction, it is also a kind of a tributary of the A5 highway and the M1 highway to the north. In this regard, most of the transport leaving central London and heading to Midland and Northern England, it is moving along Marylebone Road. Therefore, travel is often difficult here.

History
In fact, Marylebone Road was the first bypass in London. They were laid aside from built-up areas to avoid congestion of the city traffic and increase its safety. The construction of the New Road, as it was first called, began in 1756 along the northern border of the then urban development. [one]
The name Marylebone comes from the church of St. Mary, built on the banks of a small stream, in an area called Tyburn. The church and the surrounding area were later known as St Mary at the bourne. Over time, the name has been reduced to the modern Marylebone. Currently, the parish church of St Marylebone is in the south of Marylebone Road, opposite the London Royal Academy of Music, at the very top of Marylebone High Street.
