Gordon Hill is a district of Enfield in the London Borough of Enfield, located to the north-west of Enfield Town. Adjoining areas include Clay Hill, Enfield Chase, Enfield Town, Crews Hill, Forty Hill and World's End.
It is served by Gordon Hill railway station in London fare zone 5.
Gordon Hill has a number of shops, restaurants and pubs located on Lavender Hill and Lancaster Road. Also located in Gordon Hill is Chase Farm Hospital.
Gordon Hill is developed on the site of the 18th-century mansion Gordon House. Gordon House was built on the Chase near the top of what is now Gordon Hill. It was named after an early occupant, Lord George Gordon (1751–93), instigator of the Gordon Riots. It later belonged to Sir Thomas Hallifax (1721–89), Lord Mayor of London. Gordon House was demolished in about 1860, and the area laid out for housing.[1] Development accelerated in 1909 with the arrival of the railway.
