This is the 29th station I have visited out of 52 stations on the Northern Line. The station opened in June 2007. It services both the Northern and Victoria Line although the Victoria line wasn't established until the late 1960s.
The station was part of the original Charing Cross, Euston and Hampstead Railway going from Charing Cross to Camden Town, now the Northern Line. It opened under the name of Euston Road and the name is still visible on Platform 2 of the Northern Line. The name changed to Warren Street in 2008.
I am assuming that other geometrical designs on the Northern Line platforms are also original.
The station was redesigned in 1968 when the Victoria Line was routed through the station. On the Victoria Line platforms the seating alcoves feature a maze tile design by Crosby Fletcher Forbes design partnership. It was inspired by the word 'Warren' in the station's name.

Prior to all the rebuilding necessary when the Victoria Line was routed through the station in 1968 the station had been completely rebuilt in the early 1930s to accommodate the installation of escalators. Designed by the architect Charles Holden and Stanley Heaps, the curved brick exterior is similar to other stations Holden designed.
The station is situated at the junction of Tottenham Court road and Euston Road in the northern most part of Fitzrovia. There are five tube stations within a 250m radius in this area so I wasn't sure I would find anything new to write about and there was no point in my walking any great distance from the station.
The eating establishments must have catered for every taste. One street was full of Indian restaurants. Another had Japanese. I saw Chinese, Mexican, Turkish, Greek, French and so on.

This is The Camden People's Theatre which was founded in an old pub in 1994. It is very close to Tolman's square and is another example of the community within this area. It's main aim was to engage with the local community and provide drama and other activities led by the local community and not become an extension of West End theatres. It is still a thriving theatre 30 years after its conception.
Just wandering down some of the back streets my eye was drawn to this building. The sign read The Euston Skills Centre. Opened last year as a community based skills centre providing apprenticeships for residents wanting to work in the construction industry. The funding to support the construction and operation of the centre has come from the government as part of their assurance to protect the lives and livelihoods of residents from the impact of HS2. This is Britain's new High Speed railway which will connect London and Birmingham.At the end of the road it had all been boarded up as this is where a lot of the construction is taking place for the HS2. Judging by the notices that I read on the nearby streets, there is a lot of disruption in the area caused by the closing off of some of the streets and the diversions that are in place.
In front of the skills centre is the Starcross Yard Temporary open Space. The London Borough of Camden created this public space in 2022 to help lessen the effects of the loss of public open space due to the construction of the High Speed Rail. Most of the materials such as railings, seats and gates have been salvaged from other railway from other stations' redevelopments and schemes across the borough.

Surrounding the temporary open space is the old Maria Fidelis School. The pupils have moved to a new school nearby and this building is going to be used to create a temporary site and welfare accommodation for the nearby HS2 as well as being used by the Euston Skills Centre

There is a lack of greenery walking around these streets but this house certainly bucks the trend with its showy wisteria in full bloom.

Round another corner and I couldn't miss this signage.


Not such an impressive building but I did like the brass number plate on the door of the Magic Circle showing the signs of the Zodiac. The number on the door is of course Number 12. When I was researching for the Leicester Square post I came across a blue sign noting the beginning of the Magic Circle in 1905 at Pinoli's restaurant. I had forgotten that it mentioned the HQ here. Behind this rather dull looking building there is a small theatre and rooms full of magic paraphernalia including Houdini's straitjacket. Although magicians have to prove their skill to gain entry and agree to observe the Circle's motto (Indocilis privata loqui) 'not apt to disclose secrets', it is not a secret society. The building is open to the public for shows, visits and talks. The most well known member is perhaps King Charles III. He joined in 1975 after performing a cup and balls trick! The only non human member is Sooty, who lives in the museum.
These modern water fountains are very handy for filling water bottles and hopefully cutting down the need for plastic bottles.
This artwork is on the wall of one of the blocks of flats in the Regent's Park estate close to the station. Created by Brendan Barry in 2024 it is a portrait of the community representing both past and present people who live and work on this estate.
