Drummond Street, London

1

Drummond Street is a street in London just north of the centre, located near Euston station and running parallel with Euston Road. It is best known for its Indian and Bangladeshi restaurants and supply shops, including Diwana Bhel Poori House which claims to be the oldest South Indian vegetarian restaurant in Britain, having opened in 1970. It is the site of Schafer House, a student hall of residence of University College London. Drummond Street used to be considerably longer, continuing north-eastwards through what is now Euston station and also including what is now Doric Way. On this part of Drummond Street was the main entrance to the station and the site of the Euston Arch. The eastern part of Drummond Street was built over when Euston station was rebuilt and extended southwards in 1961; the Euston Arch was demolished, the far north-eastern part of Drummond Street was renamed Doric Way, and Drummond Street was separated from the formerly-adjacent Drummond Crescent to the north. Since 2019, the eastern extremity of Drummond Street has seen mass demolition of various properties to accommodate the expansion of Euston station for the construction of the High Speed 2 railway line.
