Friday Hill is a housing estate in Chingford (in the London Borough of Waltham Forest; OS Grid Reference TQ391933), named after the hill of the same name, lying north of Chingford Hatch.
It takes its name from a John Friday who held land there in the fifteenth century; prior to this, it was known as Jackatt Hill.
Louisa Boothby-Heathcote (1854–1940), who had succeeded as lady of the manor in 1915, was the last resident of the house.
The house was used by the Chingford Community Association from the late 1940s until 2006 when the London Borough of Waltham Forest Council's Adult Education Service (CLaSS) took it over, displacing the community centre to a timber panelled building in the grounds and facing Weale Road to the rear.
According to legend, King Charles II is said to have knighted a loin of beef ("Sir Loin") at Friday Hill; however, there are other places that also claim this honour, and the story is generally assumed to be apocryphal.
