Now I am an American who has been to London 11 times. I usually stay at
the Russell Hotel which is on Woburn.Would it be correct to assume that
if i was Walking out of the Russell hotel and looked to my right
towards Euston that the bus was about one quarter of a block down the
street from the hotel?

As others have said, it was more like two and half blocks. However, you
would undoubtedly have been in the thick of things (albeit safe) since
passengers from the Piccadilly line explosion were being evacuated from
the tube station just at the back of the hotel.

Was it travelling towards Euston or towards Russell Square?

It was not on its usual route, but it was heading towards Russell
Square.
