Euston Station, situated in the London Borough of Camden, is one of London’s major railway and underground stations. Opened in 1837, it serves as a crucial hub for travel to the Midlands, North West England, North Wales, and Scotland. It is also an essential part of the London Underground network, featuring connections to the Victoria and Northern lines.

Originally designed by Philip Hardwick, the station underwent several modifications and expansions over the years to accommodate the increasing number of passengers and evolving transportation needs. Sadly, Hardwick’s original ‘Euston Arch,’ a grand Doric propylaeum, was demolished in the 1960s during a modernisation effort, a loss that many consider regrettable to London’s architectural heritage. In its place stands a more functional but less aesthetically pleasing structure, which is characteristic of mid-20th-century architectural priorities.

Inside the station, passengers can find a range of facilities, such as ticket offices, retail shops, cafes, and waiting areas. The concourse is usually bustling with travellers, either waiting for their trains on one of the station’s 18 platforms or hurrying to make their connections to other parts of London or the UK. Accessibility features are integrated throughout the station, making it convenient for all passengers, including those with mobility impairments.
