Euston Road is an important thoroughfare in central London, England, and forms part of the A501. It originally formed the central section of the New Road from Paddington to Islington, opened in 1756. The New Road was London's first bypass, through the fields to the north of London, but it is now generally regarded as being in central London.
The road runs from west to east from Marylebone Road to Pentonville Road. It meets the northern end of Tottenham Court Road at a large junction where there is an underpass.

Famous quotes containing the word road:
“But, where the road runs near the stream,
Oft through the trees they catch a glance
Of passing troops in the sun’s beam—
Pennon, and plume, and flashing lance!
Forth to the world those soldiers fare,
To life, to cities, and to war!”
—Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
