   somers town is a district in central london. it has been strongly influenced by the three mainline north london railway termini: euston (1838), st. pancras (1868) and kings cross (1852), together with the midland railway somers town goods depot (1887) next to st pancras, where the british library now stands. historically, the name somers town was used for the larger triangular area between the pancras, hampstead, and euston roads, but it is now taken to mean the rough rectangle bounded by pancras road, euston road, eversholt street, crowndale road, and the railway approaches to st pancras station; that is to say, the area about 200 metres east and west of chalton street. somers town to some extent overlaps with the parish and district of st pancras. ==history==  st pancras old church is believed by many to be one of the oldest christian sites in england. the churchyard remains consecrated but is managed by camden council as a park. it holds many literary associations, from charles dickens to thomas hardy, as well as memorials to dignitaries, including the remarkable tomb of architect sir john soane. somers town was named for charles cocks, 1st baron somers (1725â1806). the area was originally granted by william iii to john somers (1651â1716), lord chancellor and baron somers of evesham.{{cite book | last1 = somers co
