Euston Square tube station, London Underground station
Euston Square is an underground railway station in central London at the corner of Euston Road and Gower Street. It has two platforms and serves three lines: the Circle, Hammersmith & City, and Metropolitan lines.
The station opened in 1863 as Gower Street and was part of the world's first underground railway, the Metropolitan Railway. It received its current name in 1909 and was enlarged during the 1920s and 1930s to handle more passengers.
The name Euston Square refers to its location on Euston Road and the surrounding area where students and workers pass through daily. The station serves as a meeting point where people from different parts of London cross paths and move through the city.
The station is located in Zone 1 and is easily accessible on foot from University College London and Euston mainline station. Buses run nearby and make it simple to connect to other parts of London.
The station was built using the cut-and-cover method, where workers dug a trench, built the station inside, and then covered it over. The brick walls and glazed tile shafts that bring light from street level are still part of the original construction.
