What is "Marylebone"?

‘Marylebone’ is in central London. It is sometimes written Mary-le-bone, but that brings you no closer to knowing how to pronounce it. Another quirk of the English tongue. Some people pronounce ‘bone’ like ‘bone’, and others use more of a neutral vowel on this syllable which renders it closer to ‘bun’. Take your pick!
