About

Somers Town sits in the London Borough of Camden, bounded to the south by Euston Road. The street pattern mixes Victorian terraces with mid-20th-century council blocks, producing short runs of residential streets punctuated by shopping parades. Chalton Street runs through the neighbourhood and carries a long strip of everyday shops and stalls, several tucked beneath brick railway arches. That alignment of arches and narrow streets channels movement along a few main routes and shapes how people use the area day to day.

Local life is organised around community-run facilities, primary schools, and social housing management offices. Pocket greens and small play spaces sit between blocks, and family-owned shops and cafes meet most everyday needs. Ongoing regeneration has changed parts of the built fabric, while neighbourhood groups remain active on housing and local services. The visible railway infrastructure, the market activity along Chalton Street and the compact street layout give Somers Town a clear, practical character within Camden.
