The Caledonian Road (previously Chalk Road) is a road in the modern Borough of Islington (London, England). It runs between Camden Road and Pentonville Road. The road was built in 1826 as a toll road by the Battle Bridge and Holloway Road Company. The name was changed from Chalk Road to Caledonian road after the Royal Caledonian Asylum in the area.

Of Groundsel and Chickweed Sellers. (Volume 1) [as Chalk-road]: "The grunsell a gentleman gives me leave to get out of his garden: that’s down Battle-bridge way, in the Chalk-road, leading to Holloway. I gets there every morning about nine. I goes there straight. After I have got my chickweed, I generally gathers enough of each to make up a dozen halfpenny bunches."
