Chalk Farm is an area of north London in the London Borough of Camden. It lies directly to the north of Camden Town and its underground station is the closest tube station to the nearby, upmarket neighbourhood of Primrose Hill.

Its name, deceptively rural, derives from the Anglo-Saxon for ‘cold cottages’. These days it absorbs the spread from Camden Town and has many lively pubs, live music venues, and restaurants.

Within London it is best known[citation needed] as the site of The Roundhouse, a former circular railway engine shed which was subsequently converted for arts and performance use.

It is also the site of the Camden College of English.

Chalk Farm also contains Haverstock School Business & Enterprise College (formerly Haverstock Comprehensive School), a secondary school with a sixth form. Its 2004 Ofsted report described the school as "satisfactory" overall.
