Yep. Spacious, airy, practical and warm. Everything that a number of
other main termini are not.

Interesting, no, but then that's not what it's there for.

(now minus some of the shops)


All 3 of the "teepee" like ones around the pillars visible on the
photo above have gone. Makes quite a difference.


Where have the shops gone?

FWIW, I agree that the main hall at Euston is designed to be
practical, if uninteresting, but what made it increasingly impractical
was their inability to resist the temptation to turn it into
revenue-earning space. If they've finally realised that was an error,
it will at least make travelling via Euston less hassle even if it
doesn't do much to make it more enjoyable.
