By Tube, Liverpool Street to King's Cross on the Circle, Hammersmith & City or Metropolitan lines, four stops westbound. Then one stop to Euston on the Northen line. Or you can carry on past King's Cross on any of those three lines for one further stop, to Euston Square, and walk the short distance back down Euston Road.

Google Maps is good for directions.

Liverpool St to Euston Sq on the Circle Line towards Hammersmith. Walk of 4 minutes from Euston Square to Euston.

Google Maps says it's about 16 mins journey including walking. Walking would take 1 hour.

Or you could get a 214 bus from Liverpool Street bus station and get off at King's Cross. You could then either walk to Euston (10 mins) or get another bus (30, 73, 205, 476).

This is the quickest, easiest and least frustrating option.

There's a photo opportunity for folks such as you, a luggage trolley going through the wall, labelled platform 9 3/4, right at the far end of the new concourse at Kings Cross.
Very handy for the Parcels Office pub too.

Just got me memorising
Used to really enjoy the walk from Old Street down Clerkenwell to Savile Row at this time of year.
It was a decent morning stroll and far preferable to being sardined on a tube.

Talking of Harry Potter, I saw 'im on Friday night.

Very good 'e was too. Although he wasn't wearing those glasses and he didn't have a funny scar on his forehead.
