Your route takes us from the Network Rail concourse of Euston station via the southeast exit into Eversholt Street which you cross and turn right. You cross three side streets before reaching Euston Road where you turn left. You cross three more streets before you cross Euston Road. You continue to the next junction and turn right into Judd Street. Following the right hand side of Judd street, you cross two side streets before reaching the RNIB building. If you keep to your right, you'll climb the ramp and easily locate the main entrance on your right.
From within Euston station, head for the southeast exit from the main concourse this is just next to W H Smith. You may find it easier to find the passage to platforms 4 - 7 and go, away from the platforms, past the passage from platforms 1 - 3 (to your left), past the food shops (on your left), past W H Smith, then turn left and go through the southeast exit of the concourse.
Continue (east), past shops, to the top of the steps to Eversholt Street. If you miss the steps, to the left you find a metal barrier, whilst to the right you'll find either a store for station trolleys or barrier.
Go down 14 steps, going east, (double flight with side and central rails), turn left and continue, across a small entrance, to locate the tactile paving for the Pelican crossing. This crossing has an audible signal and post with push button to your right (south) of the crossing.
Cross Eversholt Street and turn right (south). Cross Lancing Street, pass a
pub with tables on the left side of the pavement, cross Wellesley Place.
You pass a Pelican crossing on your right towards Euston Bus Station, before
you reach Grafton Place.
Note that details of Euston Bus Station lie beyond the scope of this survey.
Cross Grafton Place, which is a traffic light junction, beware buses moving between Grafton Place and the bus station.
There's a dip in the pavement just before you reach Euston Road. Continue to the tactile pavement adjacent to Euston Road before turning left here or you may find yourself in the fire station.
You've reached the junction between Euston Road (east/west), Eversholt Street (north) and Upper Woburn Place (south). This is a traffic light controlled junction with no Pelican crossings. If you were to cross Euston Road here, you'd reach an island from which you turn left to reach the pavement. I suggest you continue along the north side of Euston Road.
There's a dip with tactile paving, in the pavement before you reach Churchway. Cross Churchway, which is a traffic light junction with some clutter around the crossing.
Continue, noting the dip in the pavement and cross Chalton Street, a minor road with no traffic lights.
Continue and cross Ossulston Street, which is a wide road with traffic lights. You're now passing the British Library. Locate the Pelican crossing, via tactile paving, just beyond the junction. The push button, plus rotating cone, for the north half of Euston Road is to your right (west) of the crossing. Cross to the central island, turn right, follow the railings on your left and locate the post with the push button and rotating cone to your left. Cross the south half of Euston Road and turn left. You're now on the south side of Euston Road, just east of Mabledon Place.
Continue to the next junction and turn right into Judd Street.
Note, this is the junction of Euston Road (east/west), Midland Road (north,
along the west side of St. Pancras station) and Judd Street (south). There are
crossings at each arm of this junction:
Details of the route from St. Pancras station and the King's Cross St. Pancras complex lie beyond the scope of this survey.
Having turned right, onto the right-hand side of Judd Street, you continue south, crossing two wide side streets before you reach the RNIB building. You pass a few blank doors before you locate the ramp to the entrance. This ramp occupies the right hand portion of the pavement. Alternatively, you can take the two steps up, just in front of the main entrance, which is an obvious feature.
As you enter the building, via automatic doors, Reception is in front of you. The Resource Centre is to your right.
Your route takes us along Judd Street into Euston Road. You cross Euston Road outside the British Library then continue along the north side of the road towards Euston station. You cross three streets before turning right into Eversholt street. Having crossed three side streets, you cross Eversholt Street, go up a short flight of stairs and enter the station.
On leaving via the main entrance, turn left, down the ramp and continue across two wide streets to Euston Road. Turn left here, ignore the tactile paving from your right which doesn't lead to a Pelican crossing. Continue to the second set of tactile paving and locate the push button and rotating cone to your right (east) of the crossing. Cross the south half of Euston road, turn right and follow the railings on your left to locate the push button and rotating cone for the northern half. Cross and turn left.
Cross Ossulston Sttreet, which is a wide road with traffic lights, then Chalton Street, a minor road with no lights.
Cross a dip in the pavement before you reach Churchway, which is a traffic light controlled junction with some clutter around the crossing.
Continue, across a dip in the pavement with tactile paving either side, to the corner of Eversholt Street. Turn right here, following the outside of the pavement so as to avoid going into the fire station.
Continue, across a dip in the pavement to Grafton Place, which is a traffic
light controlled junction, beware buses moving between Grafton Place and Euston
Bus Station. Having crossed Grafton Place, there's a Pelican crossing to your
left, towards the bus station.
Note that details of Euston Bus Station lie beyond the scope of this survey.
Continue along the east side of Eversholt Street, across Wellesley Place, past a pub with tables on the right side of the pavement, to Lancing Street.
Cross Lancing Street and locate the tactile paving, after some distance, indicating the Pelican crossing to your left. This crossing has a sounder and post with push button to your right (north).
Cross Eversholt Street and turn left, cross a small entrance and locate the steps up to your right (west), after a few metres. Go up 14 steps and continue, past the shops, into the station entrance. You're in the southeast corner of the concourse, next to W H Smith. If you turn right here you're facing the entrance to platforms 4 - 7.
