  • Pre-boarding facilities: No need to stand around the concourse looking at the clock - a range of convenient amenities await at MK Central. Grab a drink and bite to eat by the station entrance. Choose from well-known favourites like M&S to sit-down chains such as Pret and Costa.
  • Carrying luggage: Moving into halls? Use one of the station’s luggage trolleys and lifts to take you to your platform.

On board trains from Milton Keynes Central to London Euston

  • Views from the train: Sit on either side of the train to take in the rural scenery out the window, from fields to winding country roads. As you approach London, the landscape becomes dense with suburban homes and North London’s high-rises.
  • Onboard café: If you’re feeling a bit peckish, Avanti trains are stocked with hot food, coffee and sweet treats. Skip the queue and order from your seat so it’s ready to collect.

Arriving at London Euston

Getting around the vast concourse to find your exit can be tricky. Choose the right one and discover transport links and things to do in the local area.
  • Euston Road exit: Use London Euston station’s main exit for the bus station, taxi rank and free attractions like the British Library and Wellcome Collection.

  • Melton Street exit: If you’re going to University College Hospital or Euston Square station, this western exit near platform 16 offers easy access.
  • First Class lounge: Avanti First Class ticket holders can extend their luxury experience and enjoy more complimentary refreshments in the First Class lounge. Just head upstairs and take a moment to relax away from the busy station below.
  • Onward travel: You’re just a short walk away from beloved cultural venues, the British Museum and the iconic Regent’s Park. For destinations further afield, follow signs to the Euston Square Gardens taxi rank or Euston bus station.
