Stations Ground

Euston covers approximately 4sq km and is strategically located on the busy (A501) Euston Road between the main line stations of Euston , Kings Cross and Saint Pancras. A central London fire station, Euston has one of the most diverse grounds within the London Fire Brigade, both in the cultures and backgrounds of its many residents and the varied commercial and industrial developments within its boundaries.

Housing: Euston's ground is home to housing ranging from medium to high density local government dwellings, which can be found on the three large housing estates of Sommers Town, Regent's Park and St Pancras Estate's to the affluent and expensive mansions and homes found around the outer circle of Regents Park. From student and nurses accommodation to bedsits and HMO's, from boathouses to caravans. In addition Euston also has almost ten thousand hotel bedrooms within its boundaries for the traveller and tourist who visit our capital from all over the world.

Commercial/industrial: Euston's ground covers a varied collection of commercial and industrial developments. Within Euston's boundaries you will find many shops, offices, businesses, leisure and educational premises which include: The New British Library, Telecom Tower, The Royal Veterinary Collage, University Collage London, University College Hospital, The London Zoo, King's Cross Goods Yard, Head Office of BMA. Also the many hotels, boarding houses and smaller businesses ranging from car body repair shops to sellers of fine art and antiques.

Main risk: Euston's ground is active 24 hours a day, with the local residential population being swollen each day by the hundreds of thousands of commuters who use the three main line rail stations as well as the eight LUL stations. In addition to the risk presented by the underground and main line network, Euston also has a number of static risks which include; The New British Library, London Zoo, many Hospitals and Health Centres and The Royal National Hotel (one of the largest in Europe with over seven hundred bedrooms).

Kings Cross station

Kings Cross station is a railway station in Kings Cross, north central London, United Kingdom. It serves routes to the North East of the country, including Cambridge, York, Durham and up to Edinburgh and Aberdeen, Scotland, via the east coast route.

It is adjacent to St. Pancras station. The Underground station serving both is Kings Cross St. Pancras, which was the scene of the Kings Cross fire on November 18, 1987 in which thirty-one people died.

With Euston and Kings Cross Thameslink stations only a few minutes walk away, this area is a major transport interchange of north London. The new London terminus of the Channel Tunnel Rail Link is due to be built in the area behind Kings Cross and St. Pancras stations. Eurostar trains are due to arrive there in 2007, in the second phase of the Channel Tunnel Rail Link project.

Kings Cross features in the Harry Potter books of J. K. Rowling, as the location from which the Hogwarts Express train departs although the location used in the film version is actually Marylebone Station. There is a cast iron sign on a wall of the secondary building that houses platforms 9-11 that proclaims entrance to 'Platform 9 3/4'. The new British Library building is a short walk from Kings Cross station.

Kings Cross was originally designed and built as the London hub of the Great Northern Railway, now Great North Eastern Railway or GNER. It was designed by Lewis Cubitt, and constructed in two years, 1851-1852, on the site of a former fever and smallpox hospital. It was opened on October 14, 1852. The original "Kings Cross" was a monument to King George IV.
There is also a Kings Cross train station in Sydney, Australia. The train station is on a part of the suburban rail network that runs underground. It is neither very big nor particularly well-known, but the area is well-known (some say "notorious") as the location of Sydney's red-light district. All underground lines cross King Cross Station.
