St Pancras is also the name of a place formerly in the Metropolitan Borough of St Pancras and now in the London Borough of Camden, the name surviving in the name of the local constituency, Holborn & St. Pancras.
The area is named after what is believed to be one of the oldest sites of Christianity in Great Britain. The old St Pancras church and its graveyard have links to Charles Dickens, Thomas Hardy, and the Woolstonecraft circle.
The area is now best known for its mainline railway station which will become the new terminus for the Eurostar services through the Channel Tunnel. There are major housing estates to the north and east of St Pancras station, although the area is now more usually referred to as Somerstown .
