Large modern pub, noisy and busy but ok for what it is. Probably the best pub actually on the Euston Road but it doesn't compete with those in the side streets. Sadly the prices rival the Parcels Yard over the road in the station - Fullers are clearly trying to milk a busy area.

As stated below not one of Fuller's finest but not a bad pub. Friendly service. Went for the Hophead from the usual range and it was fine. Not a bad pit stop between Euston and Kings Cross.

Given the grim location, this 1995 shop conversion wasn't going to hold any secretes - you can pretty much guess the format from the opposite side of this benighted dual carriageway; this is not Fuller's finest (conversion) hour when compared with the likes of the Counting House, Bank of England and Butcher's Hook & Cleaver.
This is fairly large inside with slightly raised areas, part carpeted and part bare boarded with wooden balusters to distract from the aircon ducts and give the place a slightly 'olde worlde' feel to please the lost tourists who comprise the majority of patrons, unsurprisingly given the surfeit of cheap hotels in the area. There's a long bar down most of the left side and furniture is wooden and conventional as are the tables, not that you can see them for the sauce bottles and a multitude of glasses, not cleared after 20 minutes. There's sport on the multiple TVs with the sound down and music played at an acceptable level over the gramophone. The only items of interest are the railway-themed knick-knacks (old lanterns) as well as Euston Road-themed photos including one of the original Euston Arch, demolished in 1961 to facilitate the station's redevelopment.
Swift and efficient service from a barman presiding unsurprisingly over the expected Fuller's range with a pint of London Pride at £4.40 and in average condition.
We knew we wouldn't come here again and there's no need, given the supply of very decent pubs to the immediate south of here, though the Friday and Saturday midnight and Sunday 11.00 pm licences are useful.

Large Fuller's pub with the usual range of ales, including one of my favourites - ESB. Actually stayed for two pints yesterday, rather than going to the pub in Kings Cross station. A good pub - worth revisiting.

A decent haven to escape from the hustle and bustle along the Euston Rd. Eight handpumps with a choice of five cask ales. Unfortunately the Butcombe Rare Breed had just finished, so opted for a couple from the Fullers range, which were well kept. The bar area is situated on the left of entry and is finished in a golden pine coloured timber. A large screen dominates the front wall, near the entrance, handy for catching up with some sport. A handy pit stop if feeling a pit parched, the pub is also busy with diners.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Euston Flyer
Large split-level Fullers pub housed in a nondescript block. Lots of dark wood about the place, with semi-traditional furniture and decor. Two banks of four handpumps, and on this visit we found Pride, Seafarers, Oliver's Island, ESB, the seasonal Front Row and Butcombe Rare Breed as a guest. Not cheap (and rarely quiet), but the beer is always well kept.

A fairly large single room pub ,well laid out with areas for drinking and for eating ,my early morning visit while waiting for a train at nearby St Pancras found a decent selection of the Fullers range of beers plus a guest of in this case Bath Ales Gem, a decent pint if not outstanding at a fairly steep price of £4.10, only to be expected I suppose given the location.Quiet at 10.30 in the morning and as a result there was no atmosphere about the place, it may well be a different story at busier times of day. the pub served my purpose but not being a great fan of Fullers beers I wouldn't make a point of rushing back.

This is a large single room Fullers pub with a good location roughly halfway between Kings Cross/St Pancras and Euston stations. The room is very wide with the servery on the left hand side. There are a number of high tables and stools opposite the bar as well as a good deal of room for vertical drinking and a few standard tables and chairs in front of the windows. As you move towards the right hand side of the room, there are more formal seating areas, mostly on a raised carpeted section which rises to a second tier near to the front windows. At the back of the room is another raised space with plush banquettes which looked like a comfortable spot to relax and survey the goings on in the rest of the pub. There’s a lot of dark panelling throughout, which combined with the muted lighting, gives the place a nice ambiance. The walls are adorned with various old pictures and lots of mirrors, but there wasn’t the train theme that I had expected prior to entering. A couple of large screens were on showing the afternoon’s play-off semi finals to a small group of people.
A good selection of Fuller’s beers were available at the bar – London Pride, ESB, Bengal Lancer, Discovery, Spring Sprinter and Seafarers – but given the location, expect to pay premium prices, as my Bengal Lancer clocked in at £4.00. The barmaid was friendly enough but the place seemed to lack any atmosphere on my Sunday afternoon visit.
Now that both Euston and Kings Cross have Fuller’s pubs at the station, I’m not sure if I’d make the effort to walk the extra distance to this place. It’s a nice enough place but it doesn’t really stand out and with other excellent ale houses near by, it’s falling further down the pecking order.
