Euston is one of a plethora of mainline rail stations in London, and like all the others is connected with all the other stations and the city as a whole through the amazing London Underground system aka "the Tube" famous for the phrase "Mind the Gap" and the fact that a truly amazing engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel built the basics of it almost 200 years ago. It is humbling to see what he achieved in his 53 years on the planet!! https://www.britannica.com/biography/Isambard-Kingdom-Brunel Anyway - back to business - compared to the nearby St Pancras station (better than most airports in terms of facilities, restaurants and shopping) or even Kings Cross it is definitely economy (but more than adequate) and not even business class - but it works and forms a key part of the amazing public transport system in England! 3 well earned stars Review #2 2019

Outside of Paddington Station, the Euston station is probably the biggest transfer point from the Tube to get outside of London. The Virgin Trains are the main servicing lines here, with connections to other major cities in the UK. The trains are fast hitting speeds over 100mph and incredibly smooth. For those headed out to other major cities and with time, do yourself a favor and download the app to get train times and buy a ticket for far less (ahead of time) than you would at the station. You'll save a considerable amount of time and money this way. Also note, nothing here is really wheelchair accessible. In terms of navigating yourself in a maze, well, follow signs or ask station workers. You'll need to move fast around here or arrive early if you want to make your train. Be on the platform at least 5 minutes before it is set to depart, or you'll be likely to miss your train. Luckily, trains are frequent during the day and theres express lines (with fewer stops), including some to Birmingham.

Ah gosh!! I have a couple of check-ins for Euston Station, but can't believe didn't previously write a review! Well, with this review, have rectified my earlier omission! This is one of those railway station that's the heartbeat of London, as its located so close to so many museums/ places of interest like the British Library and the British Museum. There's also numerous train connections intersecting with other lines, so at all times, Euston Stations is just massively busy and crowded. The architecture of the station is very interesting - its low and hugs the ground and looks like a concrete log from the 1960s. Also (HT for Aussies) check out the cool statue of Matthew Flinders (bloke who circumnavigated the globe and provided the geography for Australia back in the day) as it is believed his grave lies under one of the stations platforms.

A busy station on the Underground, servicing Circle & Hammersmith, Northern and Victoria line trains, Euston is also a major terminus for overground lines including Virgin, London Midland, London Overground and First ScotRail who run the Caledonian Sleeper. I don't recommend switching from Victoria to Northern here and suggest you do so at Warren Street or King's Cross. Also, if you can avoid it, changing from the Overground to the Victoria line is a long and confusing walk, up and down and up and down. Ick. The Underground is consistent with other Underground Northern stations though it's important to note that it is not the same as Euston Square station, a short walk away.

Not a lot of people ... well, not many Americans, at least ... can attest to a 34 relationship with a British train station, but I sure as heck can. It was 1983, and Euston Station was the utilitarian's dream. Tube accessible, city accessible, out-of-town accessible. My father, equal parts frugalist, explorer, scatalogical jokester, and intellectual, LOVED Euston station. We would come to town, staying frequently at the pencewise Cottage Hotel (defined by the most charitable as a B&B), which was walking distance from Euston Station. Euston was (and still is) less than a mile from the British Museum and Regent's Park, spitting distance to the British Library, and, oh yeah, the station you can take a train all over the UK from ... and the Tube all over foggy ole London. The food options are much more abundant back in the day, and the station itself is much cleaner. Still, necks are cricked down on the main floor as people await their trains to open up for boarding or arrive. And, in a case of "deja vu all over again", I waited, and waited, waited, and then scurried off to my train with the masses when the "BOARDING" sign finally lit up. Euston, we have a problem ... you're still crazy after all these years. But part of me still loves you and your craziness.

Not one of the best Railway stations ever, there is hardly anywhere to sit and its very crowded most of the time, they only let you know a few minutes before you have to board the train which causes absolute carnage and everyone has to rush for the train at once. There are a few fast chain eateries and a few supermarkets around the station for last minute light bites for the train journey. They are revamping Euston Station though so lets hope its for the better!!!

So I won't lie, I kind of hate Euston station - yes, hate is a harsh word but I don't think I have ever had a smooth experience there and I've definitely never smiled inside those walls (and that is very rare for me). My trains are always late, it is always absolutely packed with disgruntled people and even the staff are rude, with the majority having severe cases of resting bitch face - not exactly helpfully inviting. Harsh, but true! There are a selection of chain food spots, both outside and in, available however finding a seat in them is excruciating task in itself so please do prepare yourself to be stood up and waiting. You will have to pay to use the toilets. This is pretty standard these days in the large UK stations so please be sure to have some change on you otherwise you may have to attempt a Colin Jackson over the toilet barriers! One positive and encouraging thing I will say however is that there are improvement works going on currently which seem to be trying to rectify the above issues. They recently opened a Leon and a burger joint which provides more seating above the main station floor and although I don't know the exact plans for Euston's future layout they do seem to be starting to address their issues and move forward which can only be a positive thing! That smile may just be around the corner - I truly hope it is!

It's difficult to articulate quite how bleak the experience of using London Euston station is. It exists as a gateway to and from the north of England, and it's perhaps for this reason that it's never really been improved; compared to many of the places for which the station acts as a gateway, it's the veritable Taj Mahal of London - a palace fit for royalty. But in reality, this is surely where souls come to die. Picture, if you will, a gargantuan hall, surrounded by construction perpetually in progress. Large concrete blocks impose in on you from above you as gaze upon a gigantic board detailing the departure times, platforms and stopping points for the one saving grace of London Euston - an exit of any kind. With almost no seating available, you are crammed like cattle, willing the clock to tick faster, fighting the tangible sense of temptation that accompanies every announcement of impending departure. It soon becomes of secondary importance where the next train is going. Only that it is going. And you gaze in awe of those whose time has been called and whose legs cannot scuttle them quickly enough to the escape you so desire for yourself. But it is not your time. Not yet. You have fallen victim to a fate worse than death itself: the excruciating patience-testing experience of a London Euston train delay. You shake yourself from the cold, chilling feeling of dread that begins to take over and tell yourself it can't be as bad as you last remember it. Glancing around for any shred of comfort, you come up short. There is nothing here for you. Shops and facilities exist in the most crudely functional, unwelcoming manner. High street mainstays are here, each taking advantage of your predicament by inflating costs to the degree you begin to suspect they're in collusion with whatever evil madman designed this place, to gradually take your sanity. And then, the call. Could it be? Yes. You're not dreaming. Your lifeline from this hell-hole has arrived. Along with the other livestock, you move en masse through a completely impractical corridor, not nearly spacious enough to contain this now rabid exodus of the damned. 'Never again', you vow, 'will I put myself through that. I would rather combat-crawl through the sewers of this country.' Except you won't. Because you have no choice. You'll be back, again and again, and every time you do, those mysterious, masochistic suits will profit once again from this exercise in modern torture. Pros: Good disabled access.

I was travelling to Birmingham from london. We had an hour to kill. Great facilities in the station whsmith ect along with the generic burger king and other restaurants. The station offers free wifi service as well as connections to underground and bus services. Not a bad place to wait for a train

I really hate Euston Station, it's in a permanent state of "improvement" but the building works never appear to be getting anywhere. When you couple this with the amount of people using the station. At peak times it's a bloody nightmare so make sure you give yourself plenty of time when travelling!!!

Definitely one of the most conveniently located stations in central London! It is big with all the national rail service strains departing from here. The station definitely does its job to the tee. There are shops for your convenience (food, toiletries, books, clothes and restaurants). The information desk people are usually helpful (unlike a lot of stations) and sometimes even friendly. I always take my train back to Manchester from here, just wish sometimes it had better heating and more seats but besides that the station is definitely efficient and does its job well! There is an outside seating area where all the restaurants are which is quite a nice area for smokers like me to sit and have a smoke after a long train journey! The underground connecter is convenient so if you need to take a tube from the station its not much of a pain. The station also has an underground Taxi rank which is extremely helpful when you have a big bag with you or just lazy! Verdict: Useful, Convenient, Central Location and does its job well! (Better seating and a bit of warmth would be desirable)
