More than 6,000 new homes could be built around Euston station as part of a 30-year plan to regenerate the area once HS2 arrives, according to new government proposals.

The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government has set out, in broad terms, how land around the station could be redeveloped across six neighbouring zones.

Where would the new homes go?

The plan covers six zones around the station. One of the first is Regent’s Park Estate North, where council-led proposals could deliver around 500 homes. At Camley Street, the first phase of a mixed-use neighbourhood with new homes, affordable housing and workspace already has planning permission.

The government says it expects a “significant proportion” of the homes to be affordable and social rented, but it has not set an overall percentage.

When could the homes be built?

A Strategic Delivery Framework covering infrastructure, funding and the order in which sites are developed is due during 2026-27. A locally led Urban Development Corporation for Euston – a body with powers to drive regeneration – is proposed for 2027.

If the timetable holds, some of the first homes could be ready around 2037, when Euston station marks its 200th anniversary.

What about HS2?

Euston is planned to be the London end of HS2, the high-speed line to Birmingham. The area around the station has been dominated by construction work and hoardings for years, and the redevelopment plan is designed to make use of the land freed up by the project.

What does it mean for locals?

For people in Camden, the plan offers the prospect of thousands of new homes, including social housing, in one of the most expensive parts of London. But it is a long-term vision rather than a firm commitment, and much will depend on funding and on the progress of HS2 itself.
