On the corner of Melton Street and Drummond Street, on

the western side of Euston mainline station, sits one of Leslie Green’s classically designed red brick and distinctive former underground stations. It was opened in 1907 by the Charing Cross, Euston and Hampstead Railway (better known as the Hampstead Tube) and was one of two original underground lines serving Euston mainline station. The line started at Charing Cross going to Golders Green and Highgate. When the line was combined with the City and South London Railway which ran from the City through to Stockwell and Euston they were joined by an extensive network of pedestrian tunnels under Euston station. However, during the extensive re-building of Euston station in the 1960s London Underground took the opportunity to rationalise their network too and to develop the Northern Line station. This part of the underground station was closed on 29th April 1962. Inside it remains a time-capsule with period posters and the like that can be enjoyed as part of London Transport Museum's Hidden London tours.
