Trains to London Euston

As the nation’s first and busiest intercity railway station, London Euston has important links to Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow and other destinations. Named after the Dukes of Grafton’s estate, Euston Hall, in Suffolk, the original station site was still farmland owned by the dukes when the station was proposed to be built in 1833. With rail travel proving popular, Euston station had to be expanded just nine years after opening. The station was completely rebuilt as steam trains were being phased out by the 1950s. The Great Hall and Doric Arch were removed to create a more open concourse over two levels.

London Euston station will also be the terminus of the new High Speed 2 (HS2) railway. Construction works to accommodate the line are ongoing.

There are WiFi hotspots around the current station, as well as dining and shopping outlets, luggage storage facilities and cash machines.
