Euston is an area of Central London located in the Borough of Camden and is dominated by the mainline railway station with connections to Watford, Luton and the Midlands.
The original station put Euston on the map as the first mainline station in London. It was dominated by the famous Euston Arch which along with the William Cubitt designed original station was demolished in 1962 and replaced with the present station, which is now going through a minor facelift.
As a business district, Euston is less well known than it’s bigger and more famous neighbours, Paddington and King’s Cross. But it is no less impressive for the number of new office buildings that have opened recently making it an area that is growing in popularity with both large and small businesses.
The extensive redevelopment of the Euston area has attracted big international businesses like Ricoh and Grant Thornton to this growing part of London. What makes this a great location for your business is its position between King’s Cross and the amenities of the West End which are only minutes away.
The Crossrail project, which will see the new station at King’s Cross open in 2018, will help link the area to the City and Canary Wharf helping to reduce journey times significantly. International connections to Europe can be reached via close-by St Pancras International and there are fast train connections to London Luton Airport via Euston station.
