In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Chalk Farm like this:
CHALK-FARM, a place of 32 acres in the northWestern suburbs of London, now partly occupied by the Northwestern railway and its depôt; adjacent to the Zoological Gardens and Primrose Hill, 3¼ miles NW of St. Pauls. It was notorious for duels fought on it; specially for one between Col. Montgomery and Capt. Macnamara in 1803.
