Meet the people behind the scenes who keep the area moving. From your local tube station manager to the curator of Marble Arch, we are honouring the many individuals whose jobs we take for granted, and telling their stories.
If you have someone in mind that you would like to nominate as a Hidden Hero, please email community@marble-arch.london or call 020 3145 1210.
