Euston Road

Euston Road is an important thoroughfare in central London. It is part of the New Road from Paddington to Islington, which was constructed as a bypass through the fields to the north of London in the 1740s, but it is now generally regarded as being in central London. In 2002 the Greater London Authority commissioned a masterplan for the improvement of Euston Road from the prominent architectural firm Terry Farrell and Partners.

The road runs from west to east from Marylebone Road to Pentonville Road. It meets the northern end of Tottenham Court Road at a large junction where there is an underpass. Traffic runs in three lanes in each direction. The road is commonly clogged with traffic throughout much of the day.

The road is on the edge of the London Congestion Charge zone. This means that road users are not charged for using the road itself, but are charged if they turn south into the zone. The road also approximately marks the edge of Travelcard Zone 1 of Transport for London.

King's Cross railway station is at the eastern end of the road, the British Library is nearby, and Euston station is a little further to the west. Euston Tower is also on the road. Both the old and new headquarters of the Wellcome Trust are on the south side of the road.
