The Euston Flyer

A big Fuller's pub opposite Euston station, the Euston Flyer opens at 9am on Saturdays and gets the crawl's second drink out of the way without fuss. The interior is decorated with old railway photos, including one of the original Euston Arch that was demolished in 1961 — a decision so controversial it helped launch the conservation movement. There's sport on the screens and a standard Fuller's menu if you're doubling up on breakfast. Service is quick, which matters more than ambience at this stage.
