イングランド、ロンドン特別区イズリントンにあるカレドニアン・ロードは、カムデン・ロードとホロウェイ・ロードの交差点付近から北ロンドン、そして 南はペントンビル・ロードまでを結んでいます。全長1.5マイル(約1.5キロメートル)のこの道路は、通称「キャリー」と呼ばれ、 A5203号線全体を形成しています。
カムデン・ロードからカレドニアン・ロード地下鉄駅まで、この道路はほとんどが住宅地です。駅周辺には学生寮を含む住宅開発が行われています。駅の南、ノース・ロンドン線が通る橋の近くにはペントンビル刑務所があります。刑務所の南側には、エチオピア料理レストランを含むショップやカフェが並んでいます。このエリアは北端に比べて貧しく、ショップは道路に隣接する公営住宅地や、東にある主にジョージ王朝時代のテラスハウスが並ぶ裕福なバーンズベリー地区にサービスを提供しています。この道路はソーンヒル橋でリージェンツ運河を渡り、南にはキングス・クロス・セントラルの開発の結果としてオープンしたおしゃれなショップやレストランがあります。この道路はキングス・クロス駅とカムデンとの境界近くのペントンビル・ロードで終わります。 1945年創業の過激な書籍と雑誌の専門店であるハウスマンズ・ブックショップは5番地にあり、マック名誉毀損裁判の背後にいるピース・ニュースとロンドン・グリーンピースの事務所も同じ場所にあります。
In August 2013, the railway bridge over the road was repainted to remove the word "Ferodo" (one of many such bridges advertising the company name) and replaced it with the street's informal name, "The Cally".[1] As of September 2016, Phil Coy's "your right to continued existence [cally colour chart]" was installed under "The Cally" bridge. The work illuminates the underside of the bridge with one colour at a time, with each colour's name simultaneously displayed on a dot matrix screen.[2] The palette of 191 colour names was developed in consultation with local community groups with reference to the Caledonian Road's history.
The road was the subject of an hour-long episode in the 2012 BBC and Open University co-production, The Secret History of Our Streets, which chose the Caledonian Road as a typical London example. The road is mentioned in the song "Up The Bracket" by The Libertines.

The road was constructed in pursuance of an act of Parliament, the Battle Bridge and Holloway Road (Middlesex) Act 1825 (6 Geo. 4. c. clvi), obtained by the Battle Bridge and Holloway Road Company.[3] The company built the Caledonian Road in 1826 as a toll road to link the New Road with Holloway Road (which is part of the Great North Road) and provide a new link to the West End from the north.
Originally known as Chalk Road, its name was changed after the Royal Caledonian Asylum for the children of poor exiled Scots, was built in the area in 1828. The building has since been demolished and its site is occupied by local authority housing, the Caledonian Estate built 1900–7.
The first residential buildings on the road were Thornhill Terrace (numbers 106–146), which were built in 1832, and other terraces, which were built in the 1840s. From around 1837 to 1849, cottages in gardens were built between Brewery Road and the site of the railway which were part of the failed Experimental Gardens or French Colony founded by a philanthropist, Peter Baume.[4] Due to poor lighting and roads, the cottages declined into slums.
Pentonville Prison was built in 1842 immediately to the south of the asylum. Cattle drovers passed along the road on their way to Smithfield until 1852 when the City of London Corporation transferred the Metropolitan Cattle Market to the Caledonian Market.[5]
In the mid 20th century, many communities were attracted to Caledonian Road by its relatively low property prices. An Irish community grew there; and in 1955, a cache of weapons belonging to the Irish Republican Army was discovered in the cellar of No. 257 Caledonian Road.[6]
In the 21st century much of the commercial and residential property on the road has come under the ownership of notorious rogue landlord Andrew Panayi, one of England's biggest private landlords, who owns at least 200 properties on Caledonian Road alone.[7] Panayi, who featured on the documentary The Secret History of Our Streets in 2012, has boasted publicly of his exploitation of tenants in the area, claiming "if there's milk in the cow, milk it".[8] Although he has been accused and convicted on a number of occasions for a litany of offenses – including illegally leasing substandard properties, revenge evictions and building residential properties without council permission – Panayi still operates on the Caledonian Road.[9][10][11]

The road has a number of architecturally important or interesting buildings. Its listed buildings include an Italianate Methodist Chapel built in 1870;[12] the Caledonian Estate, an early Edwardian flatted estate; Pentonville Prison;[13] and the Flying Scotsman, a 1901 public house and offices.[14] Caledonian Road Underground station is also Grade II listed.
University College London's controversial New Hall building attracted negative responses from some architectural critics on its completion for its purported failure to accommodate its Victorian facade with the building behind.[15] It was awarded the 2013 Carbuncle Cup for the ugliest building in the United Kingdom.[16] A Chapter Students accommodation located immediately south of New Hall has not attracted anywhere near as much controversy.
この道路は、ベマートン、バーンズベリー、ボストン・エステーツ、タイバー・ガーデンズなどのイズリントン議会の社会住宅団地の近くを通ります。
