This came up on a google search, so not necessarily accurate:

'St Marylebone Workhouse burials took place St Marylebone church until 1855 when the new St Marylebone Cemetery opened, it's now called East Finchley.
Baptisms and marriages for certain years can be found in the IGI, burials haven't been transcribed.
The Hugh Wallis site has details

The registers have been deposited at the London Metropolitan Archives but microfilm copies have been made by the LDS if you have an LDS family history centre near you

Hello H - you can find out quite a bit on Google, where I just found this - http://outcastspirits.net/

Scroll down that page and it tells you the workhouse was so large it had it's own cemetary.

There's quite a few other search results, including

http://www.workhouses.org.uk/StMarylebone/

I think you can now search the LM Archives online.

I have a relative listed in the Marylebone Workhouse 1881 census as a pauper inmate. If he died subsequently in the workhouse he would I assume be buried in a pauper's grave but can anyone tell me which burial sites the Marylebone Workhouse used.
I understand that the LM Records Office hold death registers which might cover this period but am not planning to visit in the near future so would be pleased for any advice. Thank you for any information H
