I thought that it was pronounced something like Mar-le-bone.

Btw, what is really the correct pronounciation of Marylebone? Most people
I hear pronounce it "marlebn" (or something like that) but almost all
encyclopaedias etc that I have checked suggest something like
"mary-lee-bn"...
The Wikipedia page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marylebone mention both,
the former is said to be some "common" pronounciation while the latter
variant is said to be correct according to "Marylebone Association".
