The Marylebone Journal is owned and sponsored by The Howard de Walden Estate and produced on its behalf by LSC Publishing. The Estate is the majority landowner for a large area of Marylebone, including Marylebone High Street and Harley Street.
It is just over five years ago now that I made a mistake that still has me waking up in cold sweats. One of the very first editor’s letters I wrote for the Journal was, as is often still the case, knocked off in a matter of minutes, without due care and attention. I meant to write about how Marylebone is a genteel area. Sadly, I got it a bit wrong. In mitigation, my academic background was in medieval history, which required me to write the old French word ‘gentillesse’ quite often. Add to that a 1980s education so scarred by Thatcherite cuts that we spent more time jumping up and down to keep warm in our dilapidated terrapin buildings than we did learning how to spell, and I feel that I have some sort of defence. Anyway, what I ended up writing is that Marylebone is a gentile area. And apparently that means something altogether different.
Life is all about learning lessons, and the net effect of this slip was that I learnt two very important ones – the first was that I should never attempt to apply my university learning to the real world; the second was that Marylebone actually has a large and vociferous Jewish community, most of whom could think of nothing funnier than writing in to gently rib some unfortunate goy for his terrible ignorance. I would now like to make it a matter of public record that Marylebone, though still genteel, is by no means gentile. It is, in fact, home to one of the biggest and most celebrated synagogues in London, the marvelous senior rabbi of which is our lead interviewee this summer. I would also like to make it clear that I now employ the services of a proofreader, so any further religious or ethnic slurs that slip through the net are her fault and not mine.
