Forty Hill is a residential suburb on the north side of the Enfield Borough. It is just north of Enfield Town, east of Clay Hill, and west of Enfield Highway.
There have been houses in Forty Hill since the 1570’s. Historic Goat Lane is named for a pub established some time prior to 1794. The pub was replaced by a large, industrial building that has since been converted to flats (apartments). Most of the area housing are terraced homes built in the 1930s.
The area has a strong public transportation system, including multiple bus lines and the nearby Gordon Hill railway station. While at one time, a major highway crossed through it, this was altered by plan, and today no major roadways cross through the area.
