- London Euston is a major central London railway terminus managed by Network Rail in the London Borough of Camden. It is the southern terminus of the West Coast Main Line, the UK's busiest inter-city railway. Euston is the tenth-busiest station in Britain and the country's busiest inter-city passenger terminal, being the gateway from London to the West Midlands, North West England, North Wales and Scotland.
Intercity express passenger services to the major cities of Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Glasgow and Edinburgh, and through services to Holyhead for connecting ferries to Dublin are operated by Avanti West Coast. Overnight sleeper services to Scotland are provided by the Caledonian Sleeper.
London Northwestern Railway provide commuter and regional services to the West Midlands, whilst London Overground provide local suburban services in the London area via the Watford DC Line which runs parallel to the West Coast Main Line as far as Watford Junction. Euston tube station is connected to the main concourse and Euston Square tube station is nearby.
King's Cross and St Pancras railway stations are about 1⁄2 mile (800 metres) east along Euston Road.
The station is named after Euston Hall in Suffolk, the ancestral home of the Dukes of Grafton, the main landowners in the area during the mid-19th century.
It is set back from Euston Square and Euston Road on the London Inner Ring Road, between Cardington Street and Eversholt Street in the London Borough of Camden.
It is one of 20 stations managed by Network Rail. As of the 2022-23 estimates of station usage, it is the tenth-busiest station in Britain It is the eighth-busiest terminus in London by entries and exits.
Euston bus station is in front of the main entrance.
Euston was poorly served by the early London Underground network.
The nearest station on the Metropolitan line was Gower Street, around five minutes' walk away. A permanent connection did not appear until 12 May 1907, when the City & South London Railway opened an extension west from Angel. The Charing Cross, Euston & Hampstead Railway opened an adjacent station on 22 June in the same year; these two stations are now part of the Northern line. Gower Street station was quickly renamed Euston Square in response.
A connection to the Victoria line opened on 1 December 1968.

I really enjoyed my time that was spent at London Euston especially what I managed to see in the time I was there for plus it was a bonus I managed to see some Avanti West Coast 805’s making an appearance, Avanti West Coast 221’s and some West Midlands Railway 730/0’s which are currently with London Northwestern Railway I never considered visiting London Euston before for train spotting but it was something new to try out and was worth visiting as well.
My next station will be New Cross which is situated on the Southeastern Mainline so until then thanks for watching and I’ll see you in the next video.
London Euston at it’s finest 🚂 ❤
