Without further ado, let’s dive into some of the city’s best new hotspots for food lovers, just a short trip from London Euston.
Pick & Cheese
Camden Market’s street food scene is already legendary, but Pick & Cheese adds a whole new layer of indulgence. This cheese paradise in the heart of Camden Market lets you taste your way through over 25 British cheeses and charcuterie plates, all served to your seat on a conveyor belt and paired with mouth-watering condiments, from romesco to cherry and amaretto jam.
If you’ve ever dreamt of a never-ending stream of cheese, their bottomless cheese plates every Wednesday are the answer to your prayers, allowing you to select as many plates off the belt as your heart desires for 1 hour and 15 minutes for just £29.50 per person.
To get to Pick & Cheese, you can hop aboard the Northern line northbound and go three stops to Chalk Farm, where the restaurant is just a seven-minute stroll through the buzz of Camden Town. Alternatively, if you want to stretch your legs before your cheese feast, the cheese bar is a 28-minute walk from Euston down Camden High Street.
Carmela’s Pizzeria
For NYC-style slices with a London twist, just a short tube ride from the station, Carmela’s is the place to be. Using a blend of ingredients from Italian and British producers, their 13-inch pizza pies pay homage to the American East Coast pizzerias of the 1900s, with everything from classic cheesy pizzas to their house vodka sauce and hot maple drizzle.
The team behind Bite Twice, the Instagram account known for rating London’s best bites, are the brains behind Carmela’s, so you know these pizzas have been taste-tested to perfection!
From London Euston, take the Victoria line northbound 2 stops to Highbury & Islington, then walk ten minutes to pizza paradise.
Don Nino
If you hop off the train at Euston and find yourself craving la dolce vita, Don Nino has enough decadent gelato, premium coffee blends, and freshly baked pastries to make you think you’re in the middle of sun-soaked Italy. Famous in Rome and Florence for their Italian sweet treats, the team have recently opened their first UK branch in London, serving up authentic artisanal delights to cure your summer blues.
Be sure to try their creamy cannoli, prepared according to an ancient Sicilian recipe, and their fresh lemon sorbetto served in a lemon shell!
From London Euston, walk 5 minutes to Euston Square Station, board the Hammersmith & City Line, and go four stops to Paddington, where Don Nino will be waiting for you in Paddington Square.
La-Yam
London views from the train window are a charming blur of countryside and rooftops, but if it’s sky-high views you’re after, La-Yam ’s brand-new rooftop escape is the place to beat. Tucked away above Holborn Station, La-Yam offers breathtaking views of the city’s iconic skyline while serving up a menu of classic cocktails and Greek-inspired plates, perfect for soaking up London’s early autumn golden hour with a refreshing drink in hand.
La-Yam is just a 22-minute walk from Euston Station, giving you a chance to explore London’s buzzing atmosphere on foot. Alternatively, you can jump on the Victoria line northbound for 1 stop to King’s Cross, and then change to the Piccadilly line westbound for 2 stops to Holborn.
Speedboat Bar at the Electric
Bangkok’s Chinatown has landed in Notting Hill with Speedboat Bar ’s second London venue. Much like their popular Soho bar, expect bold stir-frys, zingy salads, and a Thai-inspired drinks menu for a late-night happy hour of dreams. And don’t worry, the menu still serves up the same beloved dishes as its sister bar, with brimming bowls of tom yam mama noodles and drunken fruit martinis!
The bar itself is also something to behold, with a real Thai speedboat engine taking centre stage and vibrant colours that transport you from Portobello Road to the heart of Bangkok’s bustling city streets.
After stepping off the train at London Euston, take the Victoria line northbound to King’s Cross, switch to the Hammersmith & City Line, and ride 8 stops to Ladbroke Grove, where the venue is just a nine-minute walk away.
40ft Blackhorse Road
Craft beer lovers, this one’s for you. 40ft Brewery ’s new venue is a sprawling indoor-outdoor space with 200 seats, pop-up food stalls, and an extensive taproom serving 40ft’s fresh, local beers.
Whether you’re planning a mate date or a family day out, 40ft Blackhorse Road has everything you need for a good time in the centre of London. The venue is also planning to host a range of events throughout the year, from DJ sessions to sports screenings, making it perfect for early evening entertainment after your train to London.
Hop on the Victoria line northbound and go six stops to Blackhorse Road from London Euston Station, and this East London gem is just a 15-minute stroll away.
Legado
From the mind behind Sabor, Mayfair’s tapas hotspot, comes Nieves Barragán Mohacho’s latest venture. For the perfect Spanish escape, Legado shines the spotlight on the lesser-known regional dishes of Spain and the Spanish islands, celebrating authentic, comforting flavours that tell the story of traditional Spanish cuisine.
With a name meaning legacy, a trip to Legado straight off the train is sure to transport your taste buds to the Spanish coastline for food that stays true to tradition with a contemporary London twist.
After your train has pulled into London Euston, hop aboard the Northern line southbound for 3 stops to Old Street, and Legado is just a 13-minute walk away.
