The correct description of the architectural style of the Euston Arch
is "Greek Revival".

Irrespective of its architectural style it's not actually an arch, is
it? What would the correct classical term for this kind of structure
be, assuming they actually built anything like this?


A dirty great big black lump?

A Doric 'Propylaeum' (monumental gateway)
