Jan Kattein hired to spice up Drummond Street

Raised street levels are part of Jan Kattein Architects' proposals to reimagine Drummond Street, near Euston Station

Architect seeks festival-like future for Indian food district blighted by HS2

Jan Kattein Architects has released a vision for the rejuvenation of London’s Drummond Street, famed for its South Indian restaurants but blighted by preparatory work for the arrival of HS2 at nearby Euston Station.

The civic regeneration specialist was commissioned by the Euston Town business improvement district to create a new vision for the vegetarian food hub and its surrounding streets, which contain a mix of buildings ranging from Georgian terraces to 1970s council housing.

Drummond Street boasts a string of cheap and cheerful South Indian eateries, one of which has traded for close on 50 years. It is also home to the Camden People’s Theatre.
