The area is defined by its railway infrastructure, with the Overground line and the tracks leading into St Pancras station forming key boundaries. Its streets are a mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, alongside several postwar social housing estates. The Regent's Canal runs along its southern edge, providing a pedestrian and cycle route.
