The gates are Grade II listed and the entry at the English Heritage website [visit link] tells us:

"Two sets of gates and railings on a low sleeper wall. C19. Wrought-iron. Gates of elaborate foliated scroll design; those to the garden surmounted by a roundel with a figure of St Pancras holding a martyrs palm and the flanking panel to the left with a cartouche having the letters SP entwined. Gates to St Pancras Old Church (qv) forecourt surmounted by a roundel but the figure missing and the letters SP incorporated in the band below. Railings of elaborate design, taken from the gates, on a stone capped brick wall."

The reference 'those to the garden' is in respect to these gates.

The gates are in three parts. The right and left pairs of gates ar for pedestrian entry and are identical in design. The central arch and gates are for vehicular access but the gates themselves are not as attractive. The arch over the centre gates, though, is stunning
