Euston Arch Trust
The Euston Arch Trust campaigns for the rebuilding of the Euston Arch which was destroyed when Euston station was redeveloped in the 1960s. A proposed redevelopment of Euston now offers the chance to rebuild the arch. We believe a rebuilt Euston Arch would be an outstanding gateway to a new Euston Station.

Allies and Morrison/Foreign Office Architects
British Land and Network Rail, joint partners for the proposed £1 billion redevelopment and regeneration of Euston Station, have appointed two award winning architect practices to take forward the design.
Allies and Morrison has been appointed Masterplan Architect to create a highly sustainable, integrated, mixed use scheme for the 15 acre site. An essential part of the brief is to develop a scheme which acts as a regeneration catalyst for both the major transport interchange and the wider Euston area.
Foreign Office Architects has been appointed for the wholesale redevelopment of the station which last saw major investment in the 1960s. The team will consult with rail operators and station users and seek to create a 21st Century facility which increases capacity to match future demand and meets the growing needs and expectations of the travelling public. The practice will work closely with Allies and Morrison on the integration of the station design within the master plan. www.e-architect.co.uk
