It has been a while since I was there. In front of Euston I would
like to see:

1. Better Access to Euston Square Station.
2. Easy access for Taxis.
3. Open Space.
4. The rebuilt Arch

On the subject of the Arch: Surely the important thing is to locate
drawing and pictures of the original and to construct a replica.
There is little merit in bringing the original stone back from its
watery grave.

1d to 30p, is that inflation, or what?
