The BoTree opened in September 2023 on the site of the former Welbeck Street car park, at the top of Marylebone Lane on the border with Mayfair. With around 199 rooms and 30 suites, bold colourful interiors, the Italian restaurant and bar Lavo, a live-music club and screening room, it is a vibrant, contemporary addition to Marylebone village. This guide covers exactly how to reach it.
01 / LOCATIONWhere exactly is The BoTree?
The hotel is at 30 Marylebone Lane, Marylebone, W1U 2DR, on the corner of Welbeck Street and Henrietta Place, one street back from Oxford Street where Marylebone meets Mayfair. It sits in the Congestion Charge zone and the ULEZ, moments from a very busy Oxford Street — so for arrivals, a clean drop where the host can meet you is the sensible approach.
02 / THE SETTINGContemporary Marylebone style
The BoTree pairs a calm, conservatory-style lobby full of plants and flowers with bold, colourful rooms and suites designed for modern lifestyles. Its suites come with lounges, balconies and cocktail stations, and the hotel's Lavo restaurant and bar bring a lively New York energy, alongside a live-music club, boutique screening room and a fitness centre. Whichever brings you here, the point for arrival is the same: it's a hotel of real style, so the journey to its door deserves the same composure.
03 / STATIONSNearest stations and getting around
The hotel could hardly be better placed for the West End:
- Bond Street (Central, Jubilee and Elizabeth lines) is about a three-minute walk and is closest, with fast Elizabeth-line links across town.
- Oxford Circus (Central, Victoria and Bakerloo lines) is around six minutes.
- Baker Street and Marble Arch are both a short walk away.
You're at the centre of the West End. The catch on arrival day is the familiar one: easy travelling light, far harder with luggage, after a flight, with a walk from a busy Bond Street or Oxford Street at the end.
04 / AIRPORTSAirport transfer times to The BoTree
The BoTree draws guests from around the world. The board below gives realistic door-to-door driving times for a pre-booked private hire car. Treat them as a planning guide; West End traffic has its own ideas.
From Heathrow
London City is the closest airport, to the east. From Heathrow in the west, the Elizabeth line runs direct to Bond Street on the doorstep — genuinely handy — but it's still a ride with luggage. A direct Heathrow airport transfer by car removes that, with the driver meeting you in arrivals and bringing you straight to Marylebone Lane.
From the other airports
London City is closest of all; Gatwick connects by the Gatwick Express to Victoria, while Luton and Stansted sit further out to the north. From each, the rail route ends in a Tube ride and a walk; for a group, or anyone with luggage, one car and one fixed price is the gentler option.
A stylish new address — the arrival should feel just as composed.
05 / THE EASY WAYArriving in style — train, Tube or private hire?
There's no single right answer. Coming light from elsewhere in town? The Tube to Bond Street works well. A pre-booked private hire transfer tends to win when arrival matters most:
- You're arriving with luggage after a flight and would rather be met and driven to the door than change trains.
- You're travelling as a group and would value a saloon, executive car, MPV or larger vehicle together.
- You want a fixed fare known before you travel — no surge, no meter ticking in West End traffic.
- Your flight time is uncertain — a tracked driver simply adjusts and waits.
Why this helps at The BoTree: the hotel sits just one street back from a very busy Oxford Street, with no car park and the Congestion Charge in force. A local driver knows the cleanest set-down on Marylebone Lane where the host can meet you, rather than circling the one-way streets.
06 / NEARBYWhat's around The BoTree
The BoTree sits where Marylebone, Mayfair and Soho meet:
- Selfridges & Oxford Street — the flagship store and shopping a minute away.
- Marylebone Village & the Wallace Collection — the boutiques and the art collection a short walk north.
- Bond Street & Mayfair — the designer stores and galleries a short walk south.
- Wigmore Hall & Soho — the concert hall and Soho's restaurants a short walk away.
