Location

The station is bounded to the south by Euston Road (east/west), to the east by Pancras Road (north/south), to the west by Midland Road (north/south) and to the north by Goods Way. Pancras Road runs between this station and King's Cross Mainline Station.

Entrances and Exits

At the time of our survey, we noted six entrances/exits, though there was extensive building work in progress in and around the station which may change this.

We noted a closed entrance south of this from Midland Road which will probably open as the building works progress.

Local Road Crossings

The Junction of Euston Road (East/West), Midland Road (North) and Judd Street (South)

North Arm, Midland Road

This is a two-stage crossing with tactile paving throughout. As you cross from either side of Pancras Road, the post with push button and rotating cone is to your right as you face the crossing. On reaching the central island, move right then left. There's a post with push button and rotating cone to either side of you as you leave the island in either direction.

West Arm, Euston Road

Although this is technically a traffic light controlled crossing, there is no pedestrian control. We therefore suggest you cross the east arm of this junction.

East Arm Euston Road

This is a two-stage crossing with tactile paving throughout. The push button with rotating cone is to your right as you leave the pavement in either direction. On the central island, you move right then left, there's a post with push button and rotating cone to either side as you leave the island in either direction.

Note that, when crossing to the north (toward the station) the post to your left is actually for the crossing of Judd Street.

South Arm, Judd Street

This is a single-stage crossing with tactile paving at each end. The post with push button and rotating cone is to your right as you cross in either direction.
