The Doric Arch, NW1

It's been over 10 years since I've been in the Doric Arch. The pub sits adjacent to the bus station just outside Euston station itself. The bar itself is on the first floor, with only the toilets and the entrance at ground level. Little appears to have changed in that time. There is still plenty of railway memorabilia on the walls, customers are still very transient (although seemingly fewer in number than I remember) and the toilets still require a keycode. Fuller's beers still dominate, with Fuller's London Pride, ESB & Oliver's Island & Dark Star Hophead being permanent fixtures, Guests were Oakham Citra, Rudgate York Chocolate Stout & Wild Beer Millionaire. The cider was Norcott's Rhubarb Cider. A 15% CAMRA discount is offered. Still one of the better pubs near Euston station.

Very much as described below, I found this shrine to our railway past somewhat studious on my Sunday afternoon visit. After the infernal amplified music, both inside and out at the Euston Tap, I was able to enjoy my pint of Box Steam Soul Train in peace. A good line up of Fuller's beers was complemented by Titanic Plum Porter.A 15% CAMRA discount is available, though I didn't realise this until after my purchase.Yes, a decent place to await one's train.

This is a great place to wait for your train! Good choice of beers.
