Euston Square Tube Station

Euston Square is a London Underground station at the corner of Euston Road and Gower Street, just north of University College London and within walking distance of Euston railway station. It is between Great Portland Street and King's Cross St. Pancras on the Circle, Hammersmith & City and Metropolitan lines, in Travelcard Zone 1. HistoryThe station was opened as "Gower Street" on 10 January 1863 by the Metropolitan Railway (MR) the world's first underground railway. In 1864, the North Western and Charing Cross Railway received parliamentary authorisation for a line between Euston and Charing Cross connecting to the mainline companies at each end. Following a renaming to the London Central Railway (LCR) in 1870, the company was authorised in 1871 to build a station on the north side of the MR's tunnel. This would have provided an interchange between the two railways; however, the LCR was unable to raise funding for construction of its line and the scheme was abandoned in 1874.
