Description

A(nother) quiet route between these two/three railway terminals which stays north of Euston Road using footpaths and pedestrian areas. This version is the shortest and off-road for 3/4 of it's length, it's only 250m longer than the shortest possible route along busy Euston Road. Away from the stations the roads are quiet due to traffic restrictions and at the stations there are pedestrian crossings. This route passes close to the Thameslink and Eurostar entrances at St Pancras and platforms 9 and 10 at Kings Cross.

Attached is a summary table to help choose between the six different routes.

There are already five verified versions, but given we have already started making incremental improvements this one seems worth it to me! I created it after testing the EusKin routes 3 and 5 simultaneously, they are extremely similar. I noticed more people were using the Ossulton courtyard as a cut through than the estate's car park (in 5), so I tested that and later alternatives at the the Euston end.

This version is very similar to EusKin 3 and especially to EusKin 5 and the (sometimes marginal) differences between this and the two are:
A uses a courtyard garden to cut through the Ossulton Estate (between Chalton and Ossulton Road) instead of the estate's car park (5) or roads with an alley that some reviews say to avoid at night (3).
B straight-ish and thus easier to navigate, similiar to EusKin 4 in this sense.
C a slightly shorter approach to Euston Station along Doric Way.
D this is the shortest way to get from Euston to the central part of St Pancras station, just 800m.
E lower traffic including less time beside A-roads (Grafton Place is part of the A2400 one way system) and avoids the bus and taxi ranks outside Euston Station. 6) the flipside is a flight of fourteen steps where you come into Euston Station. There are signs showing how to go around it through the bus station.

There are places to eat and buy food on Chalton St and a Roti King at the end of Doric Way if you want to avoid crowds in the stations. The Ossulton courtyard garden is just off Chalton St and beyond it is a small garden at the back end of the Francis Crick Institute building which hosts regular exhibitions. (Just off-route is the Peoples Museum Somer Town on Phoenix Road.) Technically there are two parts of this route which cross private land but both footways are in constant or frequent use, they are also on EusKin 3 and 5

Surveys

We are working to build-up a picture of what routes look like. To do that we are asking volunteers to survey routes so that we can communicate features, obstacles and challenges that may make a route desirable or not.

Slow Ways surveyors are asked to complete some basic online training, but they are not vetted. If you are dependent on the survey information being correct in order to complete a route, we recommend that you think critically about the information provided. You may also wish to wait until more than one survey has been completed.

Quiet and yet only 250m longer than walking to Kings Cross along noisy Euston Road/A501. Away from the station crowds it has two quiet gardens with benches to rest, and some relatively quiet places to shop or sit down for food on Chaldon Street. It is similar to EusKin 5, and 3, but I think this is the best iteration. One possible downside is a flight of 14 steps into Euston Station. You can avoid them via the bus station (signs show the way). Please also see my route description. The summary table attached there may help you choose between the various alternative routes as may this page: https://beta.slowways.org/SlowWay/EusKin

I'll definitely use this again as it's quiet, short and useful to me because it passes close to St Pancras' Thameslink and Eurostar platforms. Five stars for being quiet, very useful for me, less twisty and shorter than routes 3 and 5, adding the courtyard garden and making the best of the area. But it's a rating for utility rather than aesthetics, or rich visible history, and I'm probably biased as I designed it.
