Euston Overview

Euston Road is part of the New Road from Paddington to Islington, and was opened as part of the New Road in 1756, it was London's first bypass.
Strips of terrace houses developed along both sides of the Road and in 1832 Euston Station opened to the North of the New Road. The Fitzroy Family had become the main property owner in the area and in 1852 the Road was renamed as Euston Road after 'Euston Hall' their country house.

The area around the junction with Tottenham Court Road suffered significant bomb damage during the Second World War. Under the Greater London Plan of Patrick Abercrombie Euston Road was widened. In 1960 - 61 a major set of transport modifications resulted in the destruction of the entrance to Euston Station and the construction of the underpass at the junction with Tottenham Court Road.

Many stylish new projects have been converted into office buildings and loft style apartments and imposing Georgian buildings thus making a new world.
