The three boroughs which today make up Camden have been at the centre of London's history. Early in London's development, St Andrew's Holborn was an important suburb of the City, while St Giles-in-the-Fields, a parish founded around a leper hospital, became socially an extension of Westminster. Hampstead and St Pancras were rural villages, but once the New Road was built St Pancras expanded enormously. Despite its problems, such as poverty and poor living conditions, the borough has managed to retain some of the most notable architecture in London.
