At the age of eleven, Myles moved with her family to Isleworth and attended The Green School. Following success at her A-levels, she had been planning to accept a conditional place to study philosophy at Cambridge, but chose to pursue an acting career after being spotted by Julian Fellowes in a school play.⁴

In 2001, she got a small role as Johnny Depp's wife, Victoria Abberline, in the thriller film From Hell.
