Euston Station to become massive homeless shelter on Christmas Day [View all]
Euston station will open its doors to 200 homeless people on Christmas Day to offer them dinner and a place to sleep.
The concourse will be filled with decorations and tables will be laid out to serve guests a full Christmas dinner for the first time.
Around 30 volunteers from Network Rail will team up with homelessness charity St Mungo’s and Streets Kitchen to help run the event.
The station was set to be empty, with no trains running across the network until after Boxing Day.

Where to start?
A worthy charitable effort - but is 200 just the tip of the iceberg in that area of London?
What the hell sort of country have we become where this is normal?
