About

Chalk Farm occupies a compact, primarily residential area just north of Camden Town's busy centre. The district is defined by its railway infrastructure, with the Overground station and the prominent railway viaducts creating a distinct urban landscape. Housing consists largely of Victorian and Edwardian terraces, alongside several notable postwar social housing estates. The Regent's Canal forms its southern boundary, providing a quieter, greener corridor away from the main roads.

The area's focal point is the historic Roundhouse, a former railway engine turntable shed transformed into a major performing arts venue. Adjacent to it, the streets beneath the arches host a variety of independent cafes, small music rehearsal spaces, and creative businesses. Chalk Farm Road serves as the main commercial thoroughfare, connecting the area to the broader borough while maintaining a more local, neighbourhood atmosphere compared to the adjacent markets.
