Our favourites?

Daunt Books: Marylebone’s most instagrammable bookshop is not just looks – it has a beautiful section with books that your little ones will love!

Sooper Books: Not a physical bookshop, but a fantastic book streaming service that offers a wide variety of original, world-class stories and audiobooks on any internet-connected devices. You can read or listen as much as you want, whenever or wherever you want – why not from your Nobu Portman Square suite?

For those looking for unique and stylish children’s clothing and accessories, Marylebone’s local boutiques have you covered. These boutique stores feature dedicated children’s sections showcasing the latest fashion trends for kids. From adorable dresses and cosy winter coats to stylish shoes and accessories, you’ll find everything needed to dress your little ones in style.

Our top recommendation would be Petit Bateau. A favourite with mothers, fathers and children alike, classic French clothing label Petit Bateau was founded in the 1930’s by Pierre Valton. The brand can be credited with, if not inventing, at least popularising the famously French Breton stripe. While most famous for its tees and underwear made purely from cotton, it does a wonderful sideline in accessories. Its baby clothes are beautiful and its soft toys are not to be missed.
