Being in such close proximity to the West End and the City, Euston is rapidly becoming the place to be, and whether you’re planning the day or you wish to be spontaneous, it will accommodate every kind of interest. Walking down Charlotte Street, you’ll be spoilt for choice on where to dine, and with so many new restaurants and bars opening every day, the possibilities are endless. From bowls of hearty Italian pasta to the best organic, artisan coffees, there’s plenty to enjoy.
Transport links in the Euston area couldn’t be easier to find; being on the Northern line, the underground will take you just about anywhere, and there are numerous (key) bus routes in the area for the slightly shorter trips in and around London, like the 24, 168, 73 and 205, all of which will take you central or east. But if you’d like to stay in the area, parks like Malet Street Gardens and Russell Square are on your doorstep and ready to welcome you, should you prefer a day amongst the greenery enjoying the peace and quiet in a steadily growing metropolis.
