Overview

Join our expert guides to explore the disused areas of Euston tube station, and uncover the secrets of this transport hub.

Two expert tour guides will tell you the history of the station, how it developed and the plans for its future.

We'll tell you about how the station came to be from a series of independent schemes when the underground was a series of competing private companies. .

The tour starts at Euston Square station before heading to Euston itself and there's a lot of walking on the tour, including stairs, so you should have a good level of physical fitness, but if you like stepping behind nondescript doors into a hidden world, this tour is for you.
