The
station is busy at all times of the day. Unlike many mainline stations
there is not much commercial activity outside the station, however
there is a comprehensive mix of services and shops to meet most travellers
needs within the station.
On the concourse by the stairs down to the Underground Station is
a London Transport information kiosk that is worth using if you need
it. There are the normal services like newsagents and snack outlets
as well as a pharmacy (Boots) and a Marks & Spencer Simply Food,
small supermarket.

Euston
District
For the
visitor, there is very little of interest. Unless you are staying
in a hotel close by, most people will want to move on elsewhere.
Unlike many city centre railway stations the area out front is not
seedy, but is just very bland.
A main London road artery (Euston Road) surrounded by plain commercial
buildings. Every so often there is a typical English pub like that
pictured right and there are a few small pleasant parks scattered
around the place.
South of Euston you soon come into the University area, before hitting
Bloomsbury.
