Monopoly - Euston Road

Monopoly blue square. £100.

This was the new road in 1756 to provide a route for sheep and cattle to be driven to Smithfield Market. However it upset the Duke of Bedford as it cut off a bit of his estate. An act of Parliament was required to get it through.
Nowadays it is a main route (A501) and is the edge of the congestion zone (the part of the inner city that you have to pay to enter) as a result it one of the busiest inner city routes.

Lines and Shadows

Euston Square can look rather bleak and uninteresting. Not a place you would choose to wander around. Desperately hungry in search of a sandwich, I was suprised to find this rather stunning sculpture. The figure in the distance is a digital girl constantly walking.

Naked Man

Get that man a coat.

Georgian Greek

The new St Pancras church on Euston Rd, built around 1820 based on the Greek Acropolis. These are the doors around the back leading to the crypt.
Delusions of grandeur?

Bikes

A common sight at the railway station. Bike from home to the railway station, you and your bike take the train to London, then you park your bike securely at the the London station while you work.
