Walking from Euston Station to The Wesley? Here's How to Dodge the HS2 Diversions

Yes, you can still walk it easily

If you're arriving at Euston Station and heading to The Wesley Euston, the good news is straightforward: pedestrian access to properties on Euston Street, including our hotel at 81-103 Euston Street, is being maintained throughout the current phase of HS2 works. You won't need to plan a long detour just to reach the front door. That said, a few nearby streets are affected by ongoing construction, so it's worth knowing what to expect if you're exploring further afield during your stay.

What's happening around Euston right now

HS2 construction has been progressing steadily around the station, with several streets seeing utility diversions and road changes as work continues. On Euston Street itself, recent works involved diverting utility ducts and cables, but access on foot to the station and surrounding properties has been kept open throughout. North Gower Street has seen lane reductions, with no vehicle access from Drummond Street during the current phase of works running into late August. Eversholt Street has also seen changes, including pedestrian footpath diversions and some bus stop suspensions, with no access to Euston Road from Eversholt Street while works continue.

None of this should stop you getting from the station to The Wesley Euston on foot. It's more relevant if you're walking further into the surrounding streets, or relying on specific bus stops that may have shifted.

A quick summary of current diversions

• Euston Street: pedestrian access maintained throughout, despite nearby utility works
• North Gower Street: lane reductions, no vehicle access from Drummond Street until late August
• Eversholt Street: footpath diversions and bus stop suspensions, no access to Euston Road from this street during works
• Cobourg Street: closed to vehicles, though pedestrian access to properties and the station continues

Getting from the station to The Wesley Euston

The Wesley Euston sits right on Euston Street, just moments from the station itself. Since pedestrian access along this route is being kept open, most guests won't notice much difference to their usual walk in. If you're arriving by taxi or being dropped off, it's worth allowing a little extra time, since some of the surrounding roads have reduced vehicle access or diversions in place.

If you're heading out to explore once you've checked in, particularly towards Eversholt Street or North Gower Street, it's worth glancing at signage on site, since temporary diversions can shift as different phases of the works progress.

Staying up to date

HS2's works around Euston are ongoing, and the details of specific closures do change as construction moves from one phase to the next. If you want the most current picture before you travel, HS2 publishes regular works updates for the Euston area, and it's worth a quick check if you're planning to walk further than the immediate station approach. For public transport changes, Transport for London's own journey planning tools are the best source for any bus stop or route changes in the area.
