History of Euston
Situated in the London Borough of Camden, Euston’s reputation as a coveted North London landmark centres around its railway history; Euston station, established in 1837 at the height of the Industrial Revolution, was London’s first intercity railway station, offering journeys all the way to Birmingham, making Euston a focal point for transporting goods between the north and south of England.
The name ‘Euston’ derived from Euston Hall in Suffolk - the ancestral home of the Dukes of Grafton who were prominent landowners in the areas surrounding North London. The land neighbouring the station had originally been used for agriculture, so many farmers objected to steam trains sweeping through the area, bringing noise and contamination; however eventually the objections faded as the station’s potential outweighed its opponents’ protests, and construction went ahead.
Today, Euston has more than 40 million people pass through its doors every year, making it the fifth largest railway station in the UK. The station’s thoroughfare and Euston Road now stands as Camden’s favourite hotspot for travel, leisure, education and tourism with the likes of University College London and Regent’s Park just moments away.
