Without seeing more of the certificate we have nothing with which to compare.
At the moment I wonder if it is NW, perhaps North West?
Try to get more up .

Why blow it up so big as to make it illegible?

Unfortunately still not really enough for comparison purposes.  None of the letters in your initial clip seem to appear in the other word (Place) so difficult to say. 

And that area of London is a big place!  ;D

I agree with Viktoria, think it’s NW which was the London postal district for St Pancras.

No one has asked for it to be blown up,just a bit more script for comparison.
Two words are not enough but perhaps the poster has very good reasons not to show more.
As usual RootsChatters are trying to help.

If you can give the address and registration district of the marriage: - The address, house or street may still be there. Thus NW if London or a big city.


Is it -His-> Address for both of the couples abode -Having both of the couples  (to wed or are wed at the time of signing the certificate), addresses finishing the same.

The OP has stated that the addresses were in St Pancras, which was postal address London NW.

both address boxes have the same address (in district of st pancras, london)

In defence of the OP (especially as you once asked me the same question) the image as posted is 254x108 pixels. I'not convinced that it was 'blown up'. Depending on the resolution of the screen they use it could well have looked fine on their screen when they took the screen shot and posted it.
For instance my screen (27inch) resolution is 5120 x 2880 so the image displays very clearly at its actual size.

Anyone who views it on a smaller screen with different resolution 'may' see it as enlarged.

Its impossible to know the screen size / resolution used by every person who may view the image,  so all anyone can do is their best given what they use.

It was kind of you to resize it, so that perhaps more people could get a better view, but do bear in mind that, for some, your version may be too small to be read clearly:-)
