Euston Road is part of the New Road from Paddington to Islington, and was opened as part of the New Road in 1756. It was London's first bypass, through the fields to the north of London in the 1740s, but it is now generally regarded as being in central London.
King's Cross and St Pancras railway stations are at the eastern end of the road, the British Library is nearby, and Euston station is a little further to the west. Euston Tower is also on the road. Both the old and new headquarters of the Wellcome Trust are on the south side of the road. About half-way along, at the junction with Upper Woburn Place is St Pancras New Church. Almost opposite is the Euston Road fire station, built 1901-2, in an "Arts and Crafts" style. It was designed by Percy Nobbs (1875 - 1964). At 100-110 is the Shaw Theatre. It was built in honour of GB Shaw in 1971, and completely rebuilt in 1998. The new University College Hospital building is also on the south of the road.
