The Euston Tap

You're standing on Euston Road, trains rumbling beneath your feet, and you spot this Victorian railway tavern tucked into the station's original 1870s building. It's the kind of place that feels both refreshingly no-nonsense and genuinely welcoming—no Instagram angles required. The appeal here is serious: they've got over 150 beers on rotation, a proper cider selection, and staff who actually know what they're talking about. Whether you're catching a train north or just exploring King's Cross, this is where you'll find London drinkers who care about what's in their glass.
