Network Rail is to redevelop Euston Station.

The £12.5m development is to begin this month and the scheme will create more space both inside and outside the station while giving passengers, local residents and people working in the area a better selection of shops as well as places to eat and drink.

Phase one of the scheme will see the piazza outside the station cleared of kiosks and replaced with 'grab and go' food units incorporated into the front of the station. The new units will open from summer 2015.


Inside the station, an 8,000 sq ft balcony will be created, featuring a new bar, a selection of casual dining outlets and a comfy seating area overlooking the main concourse. The balcony will be fully accessible via escalators, stairs and a lift and is expected to open to the public in late 2015.

Phase two of the scheme will see the current station food court converted into an improved and expanded retail area, offering a range of quality brands. This should be complete by the end of 2015.
