Why Marble Arch earns more
Marble Arch sits where Hyde Park, Oxford Street, and some of London's most recognisable landmarks converge — making it an extremely practical base for guests who want both leisure and central London access.
Hyde Park's major summer concerts and winter events generate demand peaks that other postcodes don't see, while Oxford Street and Bond Street ensure retail-driven visitors have everything they need on the doorstep.

What makes Marble Arch different
Hyde Park event guests
Hyde Park hosts some of London's biggest annual events, including British Summer Time (60,000+ capacity concerts) and Winter Wonderland (millions of visitors Dec–Jan). Guests attending these events prioritise proximity, driving sharp demand spikes that push nightly rates significantly above average.
Retail and international leisure guests
Oxford Street and Bond Street attract international shoppers year-round. Marble Arch's position at the top of both streets makes it an obvious base for guests combining shopping with a London stay — particularly affluent Middle Eastern and international visitors.

What Marble Arch landlords need to know
Regulations in Marble Arch fall under Westminster City Council and the standard Greater London short-let framework. We handle the detail. Here's what matters.
Greater London
90
nights per
calendar year
The 90-night rule
Under the Deregulation Act 2015 you can let your entire home short-term for up to 90 nights per calendar year without planning permission. Beyond that, you'd apply to your council for a change of use.
Staymo tracks your nights and keeps you informed.
Leasehold & freeholder rules
Many properties here are leasehold. Check your lease before proceeding — some restrict short-term letting or require freeholder consent. We'll help you understand exactly what to look for during your first call.
Safety requirements
A Gas Safety Certificate (annual), an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR), and working smoke & carbon monoxide alarms. We confirm what's in place during your property assessment.
Tax & income reporting
Income from short-letting must be declared to HMRC via Self Assessment. You may be eligible for the property income allowance or Rent a Room relief — worth discussing with your accountant.
