Mornington Crescent station is located at the junction of Hampstead Road and Eversholt Street, amidst bustling traffic. Despite the chaotic surroundings, the station building stands out with its distinct blood-red tiling that is characteristic of the Charing Cross, Euston & Hampstead Railway. It is situated at the foot of Camden High Street, and there is a paved triangle with seats and a statue of William Cobden in the middle of the junction.
As you continue walking towards the south, you will come across the impressive Carreras Building, which is now called Greater London House, on Hampstead Road. This building dates back to 1926 and is one of the most renowned Art Deco structures in London. With a length of 168 meters and an architectural style inspired by the Egyptian temple of the cat-goddess Bastet, it is truly a breath-taking sight to behold.
At time of walking, the way further south was blighted by preparatory works for HS2. You do though get a good view of the BT Tower.
Navigate to Drummond Street, home to a wonderful selection of South Asian restaurants.
Also at time of walking, the tube station that was originally opened for the Charing Cross branch of the Northern line (which was then referred to as the Charing Cross, Euston & Hampstead Railway) and is no longer in use, still exists. The building situated on the corner of Melton Street and Drummond Street still displays the unique Leslie Green design, which features ox-blood red terracotta tiles.
