Work timetable published ahead of local consultation
A draft construction plan for a new private medical centre at 335 Euston Road sets out a proposed start date of 27 October 2026, with basement excavation expected to take about 26 weeks. The proposal is for the site behind 54 Warren Street, where a three-storey building and basement are planned in place of a single-storey retail unit.
The timetable appears in a 160-page draft Construction Management Plan prepared for Medical Team Ltd’s project. It is not a notice that work has already begun, nor evidence that the construction plan has received final council approval. The project’s community liaison page says the anticipated start is subject to completion of consultation and necessary approvals.
Residents and businesses are being invited to comment on how construction should be managed. The consultation runs from 16 to 30 October, and the project team says feedback will be considered when it updates the plan. That leaves a short period for people around Euston Road and Warren Street to raise concerns before the proposed start date.
Excavation first, then the above-ground building
The draft schedule allows around six months for the basement phase, followed by a further 10 to 14 months to complete the remaining construction. Its overall estimate is 16 to 20 months. The plan describes this as an indicative programme that may change as the works progress; it should therefore be read as a forecast, not a guaranteed completion date.
The original planning permission, reference 2024/3497/P, was granted in August 2025 for demolition of the existing commercial building and construction of a three-storey medical centre with a basement. A later application to enlarge floor areas on the first and second floors was refused in November 2025. The current draft construction plan describes the permitted scheme and does not itself reverse or alter that planning decision.
The proposed facility is intended to include consulting rooms and MRI and CT scanning. That makes the construction phase relevant not only to nearby households but also to businesses and people moving along this busy central London street. The plan anticipates demolition, basement excavation, piling and underpinning, activities that can create noise and vibration. It says monitoring and mitigation will be used, while the project information page says monthly air-quality monitoring reports will be shared as they become available.
Roadside loading and weekday working
Construction materials and excavated waste are expected to move by lorry. The draft plan says vehicles will load and unload on the carriageway in front of 335 Euston Road, rather than within a dedicated off-street area. It proposes that some heavy vehicle movements take place between about 10am and 4pm to avoid peak traffic periods. This is an intended arrangement, not a promise that all deliveries or traffic effects will fall outside busy times.
The site’s stated working hours are 8am to 6pm, Monday to Friday. No Saturday work is planned because the address falls within Camden’s Central London Cumulative Impact Area; the plan says weekend work would require council agreement. It also says no work is permitted on Sundays or public holidays. Camden’s general guidance explains that construction management plans are submitted for review and approval, a process that can take six to 12 weeks or more depending on the project and revisions.
A gantry has already been assembled over the footway to serve the site, according to the draft plan. Its presence shows that preparations have taken place, but does not establish that excavation has started or that every detail of the draft will be accepted. The final arrangements and any changes to the indicative programme remain subject to consultation and the required approvals.
People wishing to comment can use the form on the project’s community liaison page or contact the site team before 30 October. The central questions for neighbours are practical: how lorries will be managed at the kerb, how noise and vibration will be monitored during the basement works, and how the team will respond if the programme or working arrangements change.
