All Saints' Greek Orthodox Cathedral, Pratt Street
Originally an Anglican church known as Camden Chapel and then as St Stephens before acquiring its present name. It was built in the 1820's and was taken over by the local Orthodox population in 1948, this being one of the main Greek Cypriot areas in London.
It is a Grade One Listed Building although the tower has been deemed disproportionately narrow.
Church of England primary school to the north.

The Hardy Tree, Old St Pancras Churchyard, London
The plaque accompanying the tree explains that "before turning to writing full time," Thomas Hardy "studied architecture in London from 1862-67 under Mr. Arthur Blomfield, an architect based in Covent Garden. During the 1860s the Midland Railway line was being built over part of the original St. Pancras Churchyard. Blomfield was commissioned by the Bishop of London to supervise the proper exhumation of human remains and dismantling of tombs. He passed this unenviable task to his protégé Thomas Hardy in. c.1865. Hardy would have spent many hours in St. Pancras Churchyard ... overseeing the careful removal of bodies and tombs from the land on which the railway was being built. The headstones around this ash tree (Fraxinus excelsior) would have been placed here about that time. Note how the tree has since grown in amongst the stones.
A few years before Hardy's involvement here, Charles Dickens makes reference to Old St. Pancras Churchyard in his Tale of Two Cities (1859), as the churchyard in which Roger Cly was buried and where Gerry Cruncher was known to 'fish' (a 19C term for tomb robbery and body snatching).
