Euston Tower, NW1

Euston Tower is a skyscraper located at 286 Euston Road, near the intersection with Tottenham Court Road.

The area around the junction of Euston Road with Tottenham Court Road suffered significant bomb damage during the Second World War.

Patrick Abercrombie’s contemporary Greater London Plan called for a new ring road around Central London called the ’A’ Ring, but post-war budget constraints meant that a medley of existing routes were improved to form the ring road, including Euston Road.

An underpass to avoid the junction with Tottenham Court Road was proposed in 1961, with construction taking place in 1964.

The property developer Joe Levy was keen to develop buildings in the area and bought various properties. When the London County Council (LCC) refused planning permission because of the underpass development, Levy, who had outline planning permission, insisted the council pay him £1 million if they wanted to compulsorily purchase the site. Over the next four years, Levy bought properties along the north side of Euston Road, and an agreement was reached so that the council built the underpass and he built a complex of two tower blocks with office shops and apartments, the Euston Tower.

The tower attracted a number of significant tenants, including INMARSAT and the independent radio station Capital Radio.
