Euston Road is a 1.1-mile-long road in Central London that runs from Marylebone Road to King's Cross in London, England. Euston Road, originally part of New Road, was built from May to September 1756 through farmland and fields at a time when Camden Town was a village retreat for Londoners working in the city. Euston Road provided a new drovers' road for moving sheep and cattle to Smithfield Market avoiding Oxford Street and Holborn and ending at St. John's Street in Islington. Euston station opened in July 1837, and the section of New Road between Osnaburgh Street and Kings Cross was renamed Euston Road by the Dukes of Grafton in 1857. During the 1860s, the Tolmers Village working-class neighborhood developed on the north side of Euston Road between Hampstead Road and North Gower Street, with its affordable terraced housing being occupied by laborers rather than the intended middle-class audience. BY 1871, arund 5,000 residents lived in a 12-acre area, and it attracted Greek Cypriot and South Asian immigrants following World War II. During the 1970s, the estate was bulldozed and replaced by tower blocks. The area around the junction with Tottenham Court Road suffered significant bomb damage during World War II, and an underpass to avoid the junction with the TCR was built from 1964. The road became home to the Euston Tower, which attracted a number of significant tenants.
