Marylebone index

Oxford Street is renumbered in 1882. This pub was rebuilt in 1936, from being the City of Quebec, 540 Oxford street W1 away from the intersection with Oxford Street, but with the new address of 12 Old Quebec Street. *
If you're looking for an LGBTQIA+ pub, the City of Quebec is an Art Deco pub in the heart of Marylebone and has been a beloved cornerstone of London's gay community since 1946. We love being in the limelight, so our vibrant venue offers a mix of cabaret, karaoke, and live DJ performances across the week. Enjoy the range of delicious handmade pizzas, and incredible drink selection. With wheelchair access, dog-friendly policies and outdoor seating, the City of Quebec is a pub that everyone can enjoy.
It was a Greene King public house in March 2026. Greene King has announced plans to sell off, or convert 150 pubs into tenanted or franchised locations, as the UK hospitality sector struggles with rising costs.
