Chalk Farm: North London Neighbourhood Between Camden Town and Hampstead With the Roundhouse
Chalk Farm is a neighbourhood in the London Borough of Camden, sitting between Camden Town to the south and Belsize Park and Hampstead to the north. The area takes its name from a corruption of "Chalcot," the old name for the farmland that once covered the slopes here. The population of the immediate area is difficult to separate from the wider Camden figure of around 270,000, but Chalk Farm forms a distinct pocket of residential streets, converted warehouses, and studios. The Roundhouse on Chalk Farm Road is a former railway engine shed built in 1847 for the London and North Western Railway. After falling out of railway use, it became a performance venue in the 1960s, hosting early appearances by The Doors and Jimi Hendrix, and was refurbished as an arts venue reopening in 2006. The Stables Market, an extension of Camden Market, occupies former horse hospital and stabling buildings alongside the Regent's Canal.
Chalk Farm station is on the Northern Line (Edgware branch), one stop north of Camden Town, with services to the West End in about 10 minutes. Regent's Park Road runs through Primrose Hill village, immediately to the west, where the hill itself gives panoramic views across central London. The A502 (Adelaide Road and Chalk Farm Road) links the area to the A41 and Euston. Haverstock Hill climbs northeast towards Belsize Park and Hampstead. Camden Town and its markets are a five-minute walk south. For those seeking adult companionship in the north London area, Chalk Farm's Northern Line connection and proximity to Camden and the West End make the area well connected across the capital.
