Lovely walk. I popped into the Crick building for a free brain exhibition. I didn't get one though.
All 3 routes I walked today were plagued by building and/or road works but easy to walk around.

This route managed to avoid any busy roads by using some pedestrian paths. I noticed the route passed through some gates, be these appear to be always open to pedestrians. It was very quiet, although it wasn't a fair test because the FA Cup Final was in progress at the time. I walked it with a heavy wheeled case, and it was good to completely avoid kerbs and steps. The small brick and paving setts and textured slopes were not always easy though. The route would be especially handy if it was St Pancras you wanted rather than Kings Cross.
I'm never walking the A501 again!.

This is a nifty little route between two busy stations. It's takes you on walking friendly and relatively quiet streets and paths to efficiently deliver you between two London transport hubs.

If you’re going to go north of Euston Road, this is the one! It’s direct, quiet, varied, and plenty interesting in such a short route. No complaints, full marks!.

My most used route between Euston and Kings Cross because of the link with, what for me, is the business end of St Pancras Station. Remarkably quiet, safe, direct and accessible.
