Great Portland Street
Great Portland Street in Marylebone, in the West End of London, links Oxford Street with the A501 Marylebone Road. A commercial street, it divides Fitzrovia, to the east, from Marylebone to the west. It delineates areas with contrasting identities, the west at strongest in grandiose Portland Place and Harley Street, the east at strongest in artists' and independent businesses of Fitzrovia. Administratively, the street lies in the City of Westminster's West End ward.
