The street is almost entirely commercial, with small retailers covering the northern half of the street, and a large hotel and the Brunswick Centre covering the southern half. The Marchmont Association, which serves the entirety of the area between Woburn Place and Gray's Inn Road is based on Marchmont Street, where it has a street-front office. The street is home to Gay's The Word - one of two LGBT bookshops in the country - and home to The School of Life's global headquarters.
The street was built in the first decade of the 19th century. Most of the western side of Marchmont Street (numbers 39-73) is Grade-II listed,[1] as is the Brunswick Centre, which makes up most of its eastern side.[2]
