Office space in Euston refers to offices close to Euston Station and within the area bordered roughly by Regent’s Park to the west and Kings Cross Station to the east.
The station is in the borough of Camden, northwest London, between Cardington Street and Eversholt Street, back from Euston Square and Euston Road.
It was planned by George and Robert Stephenson during the ‘Railway Mania’ period and built in 1837 by William Cubitt, an engineering contractor who became Lord Mayor of London in the 1860s. He enjoyed many achievements, including developing Covent Garden. He was the son of Thomas Cubitt, who developed many of the historic streets and squares of London, including in nearby Bloomsbury, as well as the eastern façade of Buckingham Palace.
The station, which is named after Euston Hall in Suffolk, the ancestral home of the Dukes of Grafton, who were the main landowners in the area during the period it was built, carried just over 30 million passengers between 2022 and 2023, making it the 10th busiest in the UK.
There are many food and drink establishments in and around Euston Station, such as Gail’s Bakery, the Doric Arch, which is directly outside the station, The Exmouth Arms, which serves craft brews on Starcross Street, and The Refinery, which is a few moments away from Euston Square Station and serves cocktails and food at Regent’s Place.
Regarding art and culture, both the British Library and the Crypt Gallery are on Euston Road, and the UCL Art Gallery is on Gower Street.
The headquarters of the world-renowned magical society, the Magic Circle, is located on Stephenson Way, which includes a theatre, museum, and entertainment space.
In addition to the many garden squares in and around Euston, there are 400 acres of green space at Regent’s Park, one of the eight Royal Parks of the capital and home to the London Zoo.
Euston offers an eclectic range of office space options, including penthouse offices for rent in modern skyscrapers such as Euston Tower, design-led flexible workspaces created by award-winning architects in elegantly renovated properties such as 210 Euston Road, and private serviced and managed office spaces in beautifully modernised Georgian properties such as those at Woburn Place.
Whilst many businesses choose to rent office space in Euston on conventional leasehold terms, the growing number of flexible office space options are becoming increasingly attractive.
Also known as flex space, these include self-contained serviced offices, managed office suites, private floors and co-working spaces.
In contrast to leased offices, these are occupied by flexible licences, which provide businesses with the option to extend terms and expand into larger office suites in line with business growth. Some offices in Euston can provide space for over 200 desks.
Flexible offices are priced fully inclusively, so the monthly rent covers overheads such as utilities, cleaning, enterprise-grade superfast and secure IT systems, furnishings, refreshments, and other items such as reception and secretarial services.
These buildings have breakout areas, meeting rooms, and boardrooms, so less space needs to be dedicated to each business. They are also equipped with end-of-trip facilities such as cycle storage, showers, and changing facilities.
They are also attractive because as these are fitted offices with cabling and IT pre-installed, little to no upfront capital expenditure is required, unless a fully bespoke office is desired which luxury office providers will facilitate with pleasure.
As one would expect in a locale dominated by a major transportation hub, office space occupiers in Euston have a wide range of transport options available to them.
Mainline rail services and several underground lines are available at Euston Station, with further services, including Eurostar services, available at King’s Cross St Pancras Station minutes away.
London Underground services are also available on several lines at other stations in the area, including Euston Square, Great Portland Street, Mornington Crescent, and Warren Street.
