View of the Grade II* listed entry 1113131 former headquarters of the London, Edinburgh and Glasgow Assurance Company at 30 Euston Square, formerly 1 to 9 Melton Street, in the former Metropolitan Borough of St Pancras, looking north. The building was owned by the government from 1948 and subsequently served a number of purposes, including being a local office of the Department of Health and Social Security until the 1990s, and is currently the headquarters of the Royal College of General Practitioners as well as an events venue. The later adjacent concrete framed Walkden House, seen further along, has since been demolished as part of the HS2 rail development project of Euston Station. Euston Square Gardens are just visible on the right, together with architects R. Siefert's office building, under construction as part of the development of Euston Station, since demolished along with Walkden House. Vehicles in Euston Square include a Triumph 1300 TC saloon, an Austin FX4 taxi, an Austin Mini, a Leyland Duple Dominant private coach, a Leyland Sherpa van, and a Ford Transit over-cab box van, along with pedestrians walking along the pavements.
