- Euston Road is an important thoroughfare in central London, England and forms part of the A501. It is part of the New Road from Paddington to Islington, and was opened as part of the New Road in 1756. It was London's first bypass, through the fields to the north of London in the 1740s, but it is now generally regarded as being in central London. The New Road was intended to provide a route for sheep and cattle to be driven to Smithfield Market and for this reason the road terminated at Islington where it joined the existing St. Johns Street. The road also provided a quicker route for army units to exit London. Building of the New Road was opposed by the Duke of Bedford as it cut off his estate in what is now Bloomsbury from the countryside and construction required an enabling act of Parliament. Strips of terrace houses developed along both sides of the Road and in 1832 Euston Station opened to the North of the New Road. The Fitzroy Family had become the main property owner in the area and in 1852 the Road was renamed as Euston Road after 'Euston Hall' their country house. The area around the junction with Tottenham Court Road suffered significant bomb damage during the Second World War. Under the Greater London Plan of Patrick Abercrombie Euston Road was widened. In 1960 - 61 a major set of transport modifications resulted in the destruction of the entrance to Euston Station and the construction of the underpass at the junction with Tottenham Court Road. During the 1960s office developments grew around this junction including the Euston Tower skyscraper that now forms part of Regent's Place, attracting a number of significant tenants, most notably the former ITV broadcaster Thames Television who had their corporate headquarters and a number of studios there from 1970 to 1993. The road runs from west to east from Marylebone Road to Pentonville Road. It meets the northern end of Tottenham Court Road at a large junction where there is an underpass. Traffic runs in three lanes in each direction though this is currently restricted at the Eastern end due to ongoing site works around King's Cross and St Pancras railway stations. The road is commonly clogged with traffic throughout much of the day. The road is on the edge of the London congestion charge zone. This means that road users are not charged for using the road itself, but are charged if they turn south into the zone. The road also approximately marks the edge of Travelcard Zone 1 of Transport for London.
- Euston Road je velmi důležitou a rušnou dopravní tepnou v centru Londýna. Tvoří část New Road (A501) z Paddingtonu do Islingtonu, která byla vybudovaná jako obchvat na severu Londýna ve 40. letech 18. století, ale v současnosti v důsledku rozvoje Londýna je považována za komunikaci centrální části. Roku 2002 si Greater London Authority objednala plán na její renovaci u významné architektonické společnosti Terry Farrell and Partners. Ulice vede ze západu na východ od Marylebone Road po Pentonville Road. Silnice je vybavena s ohledem na velmi rušný provoz třemi jižními pruhy, přesto se zde v průběhu větší části dne tvoří zácpy. Ulice tvoří hranici zóny London Congestion Charge. To znamená, že řidiči jedoucí po této ulici nemusí platit, ale pokud vjedou na jih od ní je po nich požadován poplatek. Ulice také označuje hranici zóny 1 používané v systému Travelcard společnosti Transport for London. Na Euston Road se nachází Britská knihovna – národní knihovna Velké Británie, Euston Tower - 124 m vysoký mrakodrap, nová i stará budova Wellcome Trust – charitativní organizace zabývající se medicínským výzkumem a University College Hospital.
