Ampthill Square Estate
Ampthill Square Estate

The Ampthill Square Estate, also known as the Ampthill Estate, is a housing estate in the London Borough of Camden in London, England. The estate is located in the Somers Town district, on the south side of Harrington Square, east side of Hampstead Road, and west side of Eversholt Street. The estate was built in the 1960s to replace dilapidated Victorian housing in the area. It is composed of eight 6-storey blocks on its east side and three distinctive 21-storey high rises on the west side, which dominate the local skyline. In total, the estate has 366 flats and maisonettes: 240 of which are in the towers. The estate was reclad in the 1980s. Its cladding was found in 2017 to be solid aluminium, after fears it might be the same ACM cladding as Grenfell Tower. It received a further £20m in investment in 2005.The site was formerly known as Fig Mead. It was developed as a garden suburb by the Duke of Bedford, as part of the Bedford Estate in 1800. It takes its names from Ampthill, the Bedfordshire town where the Dukes of Bedford owned Houghton House. Half of the square itself was soon bought by the London and Birmingham Railway for its tracks into Euston station. In this time, Charles Dickens bought his mistress Ellen Lawless Ternan a house; No 2 Houghton Place, Ampthill Square However, it fell into disrepair, including being directly hit by a bomb in the Second World War, and the estate was built on the site. While Ampthill Square previously had two bridges that crossed the railways that fed into Euston, the rebuilt estate is separated from the western side of the railway. There was a fatal stabbing on the estate in 2017.

Euston railway station
Euston railway station

Euston railway station ( YOO-stən; also known as London Euston) is a central London railway terminus in the London Borough of Camden, managed by Network Rail. It is the southern terminus of the West Coast Main Line, the UK's busiest inter-city railway. Euston is the eleventh-busiest station in Britain and the country's busiest inter-city passenger terminal, being the gateway from London to the West Midlands, North West England, North Wales and Scotland. Intercity express passenger services are operated by Avanti West Coast and overnight services to Scotland are provided by the Caledonian Sleeper. London Northwestern Railway and London Overground provide regional and commuter services. Trains run from Euston to the major cities of Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Glasgow and Edinburgh. It is also the mainline station for services to and through to Holyhead for connecting ferries to Dublin. Local suburban services from Euston are run by London Overground via the Watford DC Line which runs parallel to the WCML as far as Watford Junction. Euston tube station is directly connected to the main concourse, while Euston Square tube station is nearby. King's Cross and St Pancras railway stations are about 1⁄2 mile (800 metres) east along Euston Road. Euston was the first inter-city railway terminal in London, planned by George and Robert Stephenson. The original station was designed by Philip Hardwick and built by William Cubitt, with a distinctive arch over the station entrance. The station opened as the terminus of the London and Birmingham Railway (L&BR) on 20 July 1837. Euston was expanded after the L&BR was amalgamated with other companies to form the London and North Western Railway, leading to the original sheds being replaced by the Great Hall in 1849. Capacity was increased throughout the 19th century from two platforms to fifteen. The station was controversially rebuilt in the mid-1960s, including the demolition of the Arch and the Great Hall, to accommodate the electrified West Coast Main Line, and the revamped station still attracts criticism over its architecture. Euston is to be the London terminus for the planned High Speed 2 railway and the station is being redeveloped to handle it.
