SMOKE CONTROL AREAS
The Camden (St. Pancras No.7) and the Camden (Hampstead No.8) Smoke Control Orders
came into operation on 1 October 1966. The areas concerned are shown on the map on page
The Camden (St. Pancras No.7) smoke control area covering 162 acres of the Borough is
primarily a large residential area, with parts of Queen's Crescent and Kentish Town Road shopping
centres on the extreme fringes.
Approximately half of the area is either demolished, in the process of demolition or has
been rebuilt to form part either of the Council's Kentish Town West Development Area or of the
Greater London Council's Maitland Park Estate. As a result there were only some 1,600 dwellings
out of 4,500 in the area in which fireplaces required conversion or adaptation.
Once again, the St. Pancras Housing Society Limited took full advantage of the Order in
converting their old blocks of flats comprising the Athlone Street Estate. The standard practice
where there is an old type coal burning fireplace is the installation of modern up-to-date solid fuel
room heaters burning the entire range of solid smokeless fuels as recommended in Circular 69/63
of the Clean Air Act 1956.
The Camden (Hampstead No.8) smoke control area comprising 180 acres and containing
782 dwellings lies east of the Pinchley Road and is bounded on the north by the London Borough
of Barnet.
