St Pancras is a large district in north London. St Pancras was originally a medieval ancient parish and subsequently became a metropolitan borough. The metropolitan borough then merged with neighbouring boroughs and the area it covered now forms around half of the modern London Borough of Camden.

The area of the parish and borough takes in the sub-districts of Camden Town, Kentish Town, Gospel Oak, Somers Town, King’s Cross, Chalk Farm, Dartmouth Park, the core area of Fitzrovia and a part of Highgate. Broadly speaking, the names of the sub-districts are more widely used than that of the wider St Pancras area.
