"A Brief History - Coco Momo Marylebone
Marylebone Parish Church was built in 1400’s and became the starting point for Marylebone Village. Marylebone Gardens opened in 1738 where Handel rocked the neighbourhood.In the mid 19th Century Marylebone became synonymous with illicit activities like prostitution so it hasn’t always been the medical epicentre it currently is. The Coco Momo site was built in 1866 as the Old Rising Sun Public. Before Food & Fuel took over it was a bar called Dusk. We’re a hop skip & a jump to some of the finest shops London has to offer, Selfridge’s being only a 10 minute walk away & Marylebone High Street is littered with boutique clothes shops. Leona Lewis, Mark Owen, Kate Hudson, Plan B, Suggs & Mick Jones from The Clash have all had a drink with us so we like to think we’re cool in an understated way. "
