From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Agar Town (or Agar-Town or Agar-town) was an area of St Pancras, London. It was named after William Agar, a wealthy lawyer who lived at Elm Lodge, a villa in large grounds near to the Regent's Canal roughly where Barker Drive is now. Agar Town consisted of low-quality housing for poor people, built of the lowest quality materials on 21 year leases, and was generally considered a slum. The neighborhood was demolished by the Midland Railway.
