Did you know that in 1839 there is a William Dash, hatter, at 118 Tottenham Court Road.
Most people lived over the shop in those days, unless they were very rich. Does it give this address on the marriage cert?
On this site for finding a postcode from an address http://www.allies-computing.co.uk/find-postcode.html the lowest number given is 94. I wonder if the earlier numbers have been knocked down and has become Schafer House(try a search) which is student accomodation.
It is always worth doing a search for a street in London. Sometimes you find houses or flats for sale and you can get a good idea of the area.

1861, RG9/111 58/13
Pancras Wards 5&6
41&42 Drummond Street
Charles Gurden, 66, proprietor of houses, b. City of London
Cassandra, wife, 51, b. St. Mary Cambridge, Cambridgeshire
Jane Dawkins, unmarried, servant, 27, general servant, b. Souldrop Bedfordshire
There doesn't seem to be anyone else living there at the time; I would suspect that normally Charles and Cassandra let rooms in these two houses, it being so close to the station it was probably a good location for a lodging house.
1871 shows it more explicitly as a lodging house (Charles and Cassandra have moved further along Drummond St, btw)
RG10/224 14/22
42 Drummond St, Pancras
Sarah Faulkner, widow, 50, lodging house keeper, b. Sandy Bedfordshire
her boarders:
Louisa Buckensham, unmar. 32, b. Clayton Sussex
Edith St. Clare, unmar, 17, b. Pancras
Charles Edwards, unmar, 27, ploughman b. Sittingbourne, Kent.
Henry Bowen, unmar, 29, clerk in civil service, b. Northampton.
42 Drummond St was uninhabited in 1881. At 40 there was Charles Bromley, musical instrument maker, and wife Matilda and children. At 44 there was Walter Graves, plumber, and wife Eliza and children.
In 1891 it is not marked as a lodging house, but seems to have been sublet to various families - Catherine Giomento and her son Giglo, William Tomkins and wife Elizabeth, Elizabeth Norris and four children, and John Woolway.
Can't find it in 1901. If you look here
you will hopefully be able to see that Drummond St. used to go up past the station but about half of it has been swallowed up, and the far end on the opposite side of the station appears to have become Doric Way.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euston_station - looking at this, Drummond St may have gone around 1962 when the old station was demolished and the building of the new one started.
Did they both have the same address when they got married? If they married in a church, he might have moved into the boarding house temporarily so he would be counted as resident in the same parish as Susanna, thus only having to pay for one set of bans.

They're at 24 Drummond street in 1861! I couldn't see them before - probably because the surname looks like 'Dask'.
William H. Dask, head, 38, hattier & Hosier, St. Pancras Middlesex
Susannah, wife, 18, b. Stowmarket Suffolk
Louisa, dau, 7mo, b. St. Pancras Middlesex
Walter, brother, single, 23, carpenter, b. St. Pancras Middlesex
(There's also a second family at this address, George Attewell, Hackney Cab Driver, wife and two kids).
The best clue to where this was is #25 - which is the site of 'The George'. James Cartwright, aged 21, licensed victualler, appears to be running it. Looking at other sources, like the Times, it was probably 'The Royal George', Drummond Street, Euston-Square. The Royal George was up for auction in 1871, it was 'adjoining the Euston Station' at that time, which might make No. 24 stand opposite the station on the other side of Drummond road.
