Fellows Road is a two-lane road in the London Borough of Camden, just north of Central London. It is on the Eton College estate, a series of roads and houses built to replace the area destroyed in World War II, on land owned by Eton College. The road was originally built in 1873 and finished between 1874 and 1894, and named after the college's fellows.[1]

Between Fellows Road and the parallel Adelaide Road is the Chalcots housing estate, which has four tower blocks: Dorney, Bray, Burnham and Taplow (all named after places near Eton). Entrances to the road can be accessed via Merton Rise, King's College Road, Winchester Road and Primrose Hill Road.[2] The road also has a number of small closes, including Brocas Close, Tobin Close, Huson Close, Briary Close and Hornby Close.
