London Euston Station is the main terminus for trains up the west coast line, primarily serving the north west of England and Scotland. Major destinations are Manchester, Liverpool and Glasgow.
Trains nearly all stop at Birmingham, offering the fastest journey by train here too.
There are also some commuter trains to North London.

The Eurostar trains to Paris and beyond start at St Pancras Station just down the street next to Kings cRoss Station. The East Coast line to Scotland starts at Kings Cross Station and is faster, Kings Cross is only about 800m from Euston down the Euston Road.

Euston is pretty central, just two stops on the London Underground to Oxford Circus for example. The Circle Line Underground Station is at a physically separate station called Euston Square, about 100m west of Euston Station. There is a busy bus station at the front with London bus services to most of Central London.

Full Details of Getting To Euston
From London's Airports and Railway Stations

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.

The office is open 7 days a week from 07:00 to 23:00. The facility is on the main concourse. Facing the train platforms, go to the platform furthest left, you will see the left luggage facility when you turn the corner behind the main ticket office.

The Excess Baggage Company have a monopoly of the left luggage facilities at most of London's main railway stations and airports. They can also ship items home if you require.
Paddington Station Concourse Shops & Services Euston Station
There are a couple of pubs inside the station, including one on a balcony area overlooking the main concourse. This serves substantial food including Full English Breakfasts too.
Much of the concourse is taken up by fast food and snack outlets, (see picture top).
There is a nice park area in front of the bus station (see picture left), out front.

There are ATM's, newsagents, a chemist and of course a large ticket office. There are also plenty of automatic ticket machines available too.

Euston Underground Station
The London Underground at Euston has two lines, the Victoria and Northern Lines. Euston Square underground station is a separate station about 100m west of Euston down the Euston Road, this line connects with other stations including Paddington, Liverpool Street and Marylebone. There is a busy bus station out front, particularly good option if you're going to the Bloomsbury/Holborn area.

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.
