About our neighbourhood: Kentish Town

Kentish-Town, a suburban district and hamlet in the parish of St. Pancras and borough of Marylebone, county Middlesex, 3 miles N.W. of St. Paul's. It was anciently called. Kentistonne, and now constitutes the prebend of Kaunteloe or Cantelows, in St. Paul's Cathedral. The greater part of the land is held under lease by the Marquis Camden through the Jeffreys. The town consists chiefly of a line of buildings extending along the road from Camden Town to Highgate Rise, and several good streets recently formed.
