Euston Grove NW1

Euston Grove was a street in central London, but was demolished with the coming of the new Euston Rail Station in the 1960s. This project presents information about the making of Euston Grove. A particular interest is Number 2 Euston Grove, which was the home of Professor Robert Edmond Grant, zoologist and comparative anatomist, who was employed at University College London. The Grant Museum of Zoology is named in his honour and UCL sponsors the Annual Robert Grant Lecture in his honour.
